In her statement for this exhibition, Banafshe Ahmadzadeh wrote:

"Two decades of illustration have taught me that contrast has been my starting point in image production. The first marks on paper and canvas, the dominance of point and line over the whiteness of the paper, shaped the contrast; however, creating an image in service of a story diminished the efforts to organize points and lines. The audience, in search of a narrative, lost the pleasure of understanding the principles of the image. I consciously distanced myself from storytelling to organize contrast in the image independently of narrative. Geometry became a safe space for my explorations. In its initial sketches, I realized that an awkward image bore a heavy burden of decoration. Architecture, especially Iranian architecture, is a rich reference of geometric forms serving technical functions. The works presented in this exhibition represent a chosen path for organizing contrast in visual arts. The artworks before you are a designerly exploration of geometric forms.
