Zarina Karapetyan · Venus Portal
$7,500
Description
Venus Portal is a symbolic work that draws from the visual language of astrological and geometric maps while remaining contained within the larger language of the Soft Gravity collection. Much of the composition is pushed back into space, surrounded by the darkness of a night sky and a circular form composed of sand. Within this expansive space is a small window containing a tightly cropped image of a tulip, its surface appearing almost to sweat. Although the flower is never fully revealed, the viewer recognizes it through memory. The image relies on this act of recognition, on what we carry within ourselves to complete what is only partially shown. The tulip becomes connected to the memory of love and the ways those memories can ground us. Even when we feel removed from what is familiar, memories of love can bring us back to a sense of place, connection, and reality. In this work, the tulip becomes a small but recognizable point of connection between the vastness of space and the experience of being grounded on Earth.
