Images are not innocent. They can trigger storytelling and unveil otherwise hidden worlds. From broken poems to erased images, most of the artist Shirin Salehi’s recent work engages with notions of removal, refusal, and restraint. How can unshareable stories be shared? What artistic gestures can allow for those voices to still be heard and meaningfully occupy the gallery space?
