This abstract composition features an intricate web of intersecting lines and geometric shapes, predominantly in shades of black and white. The artist has employed a technique that resembles a woodcut or etching, creating a sense of depth and texture through the intricate patterns.

Translating architectural memory into poetic visual language, Atefeh Majidi Nezhad reimagines built space as an emotional and psychological landscape. Using drawing and monoprint techniques, she reconstructs domes, arches, and interiors with a meticulous inking process that allows textures and forms to surface through controlled unpredictability.
