“Iranian National Flag Fabergé Egg”

When you lose forty thousand people in two days, the future becomes unimaginable. Time freezes, especially when you are far from home.

The mind turns to numbers, trying to measure the scale of loss. Counting becomes a fragile way to cope.

I created this Fabergé egg, a symbol of luxury, transformed into a vessel of memory and mourning.

The colors follow the Iranian flag:
Green with artificial turquoise and emerald;
white with artificial diamonds and pearls;
red with artificial ruby and coral.

Each piece represents a life, unique and irreplaceable, gathered together as an act of care, forming a fragile expression of grief and solidarity.
