O Gallery presents a collection of paintings by Avin Farhadi entitled “Leafless”, from 10 June until 27 June 2022. In Leafless, Farhadi raises the question of our relationship with the past. She asks whether the past is as beautiful as what we often believe – or perhaps it is our mind which is tuned to exhibit the past in a way that makes it easier for us to cope. Here Farhadi reminds us that through acts of forgetfulness we become better equipped for survival. We become hopeful.
