Tabrizi’s hand embroidered textile pieces address the intersection of cultural renewal and historical understanding of heritage in contemporary society. His current body of work is a personal journey of the artist in search of his own nationalistic identity, while understanding the role of these physical places in the cultural, geographic and political landscape of today.
