Description:
My Heart Is Slipping from My Hands is a poetic visual metaphor, rendered in the form of a woven illusion. Two rooster-like creatures with human faces, one grounded, the other mid-flight, dramatize longing, separation, and surrender. Encased within intricate textile-like borders, the scene becomes a sacred square of emotion, recalling the containment of desire within cultural patterns. Rouhani's composition is both whimsical and haunting, merging myth, melancholy, and ornamental beauty in a single frame.
