Artist : Mahmood Rafati
Material : Charred natural wood, painted textured base, distressed form
Technique : Sculpting with charred, textured natural wood to create a worn and perforated figure; using a painted, distressed wooden base to enhance the sense of aging and memory; and emphasizing meaning through absence and void. The technique focuses on how memory persists within decayed and incomplete forms

A charred, perforated wooden figure—seemingly hollowed, yet still retaining form. It resembles a bird no longer singing, yet its echo lingers. *Entwined in Memory* symbolizes how memories remain in forms that no longer live; its holes are the traces of what was, now etched into wood, clinging to shape
