Telematic Gallery presents Breathe the Sun, a multimedia video installation by Shaghayegh Cyrous that traces the emotional landscape of living between political, social, religious, and geopolitical forces. Through ancestral memory, mythology, and inherited forms of wisdom, the work becomes a search for light, harmony, and survival amid instability.
Inhalation and exhalation are the simplest forms of death and rebirth: a cycle, a return, a beginning again. Breath becomes the first rhythm of life on this planet. Drawing from Iranian mythology and Zoroastrianism over 3,500 years ago, focusing on primal creation, Breathe the Sun reflects on the ancient struggle between light and darkness, creation and destruction, good and evil. Within this mythological framework, the search for light becomes both cosmic and deeply personal.
