—Artist: Carmen Lomas Garza
That quote by artist Carmen Lomas Garza hit me hard and sent a ripple thru my soul.
I saw that line on the artist’s exhibition wall at the and felt my body resonate immediately.
Then I walked into the work: vibrant, colorful, dopamine-fueled, maximalist art with delightful imagery:
kitchens, front yards, living rooms, people tending to each other, curanderas.
Aloe pressed into skin, hair being braided, altars built from what’s on hand. Floral dresses, patterned tablecloths, saturated walls that don’t apologize for their color.
The scenes are everyday yes, but extraordinary instead of mundane.
Everything is placed with intention. It’s dignified nostalgia and visual history. It’s memory with structure.
I grew up Iranian, in Arizona, carrying rituals that also live in color, scent, texture. Sofreh laid out with precision. Esfand burning, its smoke curling through a room to protect what matters.
When I build-mural, table, space, it comes from that same instinct: to layer meaning into the visual, to let objects carry story, to let beauty and bittersweet memories make us feel again.
Standing in her exhibition, I felt deep resonance, understanding that everyday life is where the archive lives and that color, pattern, and density are not excess, they’re language.
What stayed with me is how long she’s held that line.
Decades of making work that doesn’t translate itself down for easier consumption.
And now you see the scale of it: the poetic power in her use of color, flattened perspectives that tell layered stories, the weight of a body of work that never lost its point of view.
As an Iranian American artist in my 50s, it lands in a specific place. Validation, encouragement, a trail that has already been blazed for a Chicano artist and a trail currently being navigated by an Iranian one.
There’s something steadying about that kind of commitment to telling the stories and bringing to life a culture, a world of memories and rituals.
Curation:
Video: Renowned curandera &dear friend
I’ve been tracking that question my entire life-long before I had language for it.
A child arriving from Iran into the Arizona desert in 1977, learning early what it feels like to be looked at with fear, suspicion, distance.
Learning how quickly humanity can be stripped from a person, a people.
That question never left me.
In the past few years, watching Iran, Gaza, Lebanon, Afghanistan, and beyond-I’ve felt it again. That same quiet, unsettling realization:
How easily we stop seeing each other as human.
This piece ‘hüman’ was intentional.
Placed in Phoenix, AZ in the Arts District, at - a city where Middle Eastern diasporic presence is still largely invisible.
I didn’t wait for representation. I authored it.
Two women, tethered by a single braid.
Not separate. Not other. Connected.
This mural is not about identity politics. It’s about something deeper.
A reminder that before nationality, before religion, before language-there is the body, the breath, the soul.
We’ve layered so many constructs over each other that we’ve forgotten the most basic truth:
No one is “other.”
No one is disposable.
No one is less human.
Let’s not forget.
I’m stepping deeper into this work—creating large-scale public art and cultural environments rooted in diaspora, identity, and sensory storytelling.
Open to aligned collaborations and commissions.
We are carrying it
through smoke,
through memory,
through the names we cannot say without breaking.
This is not a gentle blooming.
This is the kind of flowering
that happens after rupture
after the ground has split open
and still, somehow,
something insists on growing.
The hyacinths do not ask
if it is appropriate to rise.
The tulips do not wait
for history to settle.
They come anyway
through grief,
through ash,
through the quiet disbelief
that beauty is still possible.
And we
we stand in between.
With one hand in mourning,
the other reaching toward light.
Not because we have forgotten,
but because we remember
too deeply
what it means to begin again.
This is who we have always been:
A people who plant gardens
in the shadow of loss.
A people who set the table
even when the heart is heavy.
A people who understand
that renewal is not the absence of sorrow
it is what we choose
to grow beside it.
So let the flowers come.
Not as denial.
Not as escape.
But as proof
that even now,
even here,
something in us
still turns
toward the sun.
#nowruz #eid
Immigrant and diasporic neighborhoods rendered with care and specificity.
Cultural heritage named, designed, and honored. Working-class life centered with dignity.
Women shown with agency and desire.
Queer presence woven in without apology.
A version of masculinity rooted in humility rather than dominance or display.
For those of us who have spent years creating, living, and surviving at the edges-often arriving before the world had language, appetite, or support for what we were building-this felt like recognition.
A reminder that community, not wealth or status, can be the flex.
That maximalism holds memory & lineage. That honoring where we come from doesn’t limit scale or impact.
This wasn’t about being elevated above the realities of diasporic and immigrant life.
It was about being seen inside it, together.
And yes, the only thing more powerful than hate is love.
All eyes on Iran— praying for the day. Iran is free. 💚🤍❤️

It moves through stories, migration, ritual, creation, revolution and desire, often all at once.
My work is about connecting those dots:
Across cultural and social movements
Amongst the multicultural and layered diasporas
Weaving together the Gen X, Millennial and Gen Z perspectives
Inclusive of queer/trans and non-normative experiences
And tapping into the growing population of women 45+ who are rewriting the next chapter of their lives
I see what is visible and what hasn’t fully taken shape yet.
At Savage Muse Studio, I work at the intersection where culture becomes strategy: where products, experiences, branding and visual identity is designed with intention to stay authentic, relevant and full of integrity.
This is culture, translated into strategy.

My work approaches memory as material-constructed through taste, scent, sound, and ritual.
Food becomes archive. Gathering becomes the form.
Pomegranates split open on the table.
Grape leaves stacked like towers.
Rosewater, garlic, mint, orange zest.
A sonic landscape shaped by diasporic sound.
Family photographs folded into the room.
The Night of Nostalgia was a gathering but also a sensory installation-designed by Parisa Parnian to hold lineage, migration, and continuity without explanation.
Created in collaboration with Flavors From Afar and as the 2024 Tiyya Foundation fundraiser, the evening explored how culture survives: through women’s hands, through shared tables, through embodied memory.
My practice lives at the intersection of food, design, and cultural narrative.
I build spaces and visuals where identity is not just performed or translated—but felt.
Across distance, migration, and countless upheavals, we carry our culture the way we carry flavor:
undeniable, authentic, resilient, impossible to erase.

Thank you:
Parisa’s work lives in translation: carrying fragments of collective history forward into contemporary language, allowing color, rhythm, and longing to speak to one another, and shaping spaces that become emotional meeting points — where place, memory, and human connection converge.
This mural is a living collage of past and present — a reminder that heritage and culture doesn’t reside only in memory. It moves with us, breathes with us, and continues to unfold under the sun.
We can gather and continue the spirit of cafe rituals and connecting with friends at Caspian Coast Coffee..opening soon, stay tuned.

SWANA = Decolonized way of saying “Middle East”
The Western media has systematically done a brilliant job of trying to dehumanize the people and cultures of the SWANA regions of the world.
I designed this “HUMAN” graphic in 2021 as part of a massive mural I created for Santa Monica Pride in collaboration with to make sure the SWANA experience was included in the “PRIDE” conversation.
I invite you to wear this T-shirt proudly to remind the world of our humanity.
