The conference of the birds
watercolor on khadi rag paper, different formats
2021
the Conference of the Birds unfolds as a sweet encounter. Birds taken out of the context of Mona's paintings, once bound by the tales to which they belonged, now independently embark on a new journey together. Tirelessly, they chirp their shared experiences, harmonizing like a chorus, becoming one. Drawing inspiration from the verses of the Persian Sufi poet FarId ud-DIn AttAr of Nishapur, this artwork pays homage to its ever-evolving spirit. It eagerly awaits the arrival of new travelers and storytellers, those who've chosen to transcend the paper's edge and soar freely in the limitless expanse of our collective imagination.
