2024

STATEMENT Golfam Jozdani's series is inspired by the game Minecraft. In this game, each player can create their parallel world with extraterrestrial forces and unlimited resources. This world features many positive and negative characters. Her passion for depicting this world and its characters through art led to the creation of this series. Her constant concern for creating a parallel world, one that her inner self is always seeking, fueled this excitement and passion. If she cannot protect the pure and positive characters or defeat evil in reality, she can create their characters side by side through her art. This creation aims to bring about peace, turn inequality into equality and justice, and transform every wickedness into beauty. Golfam aspires to create peace and equality in her parallel world and show people that instead of being bad, we can be good, accept differences, and live with love.
