Description: Hunger 5 captures an intense moment of confrontation and closeness. Through layered textures and frayed edges, Ghaseminejad forms expressive faces locked in a visceral tangle evoking a chaotic tension between desire and domination. The tactile quality of the woven medium adds physical weight to the emotional friction. Here, carpet becomes more than a textile; it is flesh, emotion, and rupture, carrying deep memory and embodied resistance.
