After graduating from the University of Florida, Bahareh began a journey to explore different healing modalities and the universal mother archetype. She devoted significant time to solitude, reflection, and the exploration of the ancient texts of the Vedas and the archetypes of the feminine goddess. This led to a new body of work focused on her awakening to the feminine self, marked by a deep connection to the earth and an exploration of the realm of Heart. As a perceptive individual maturing in Iran, she was influenced early on by the religious doctrines that limited her energy flow. She absorbed the feelings of shame and guilt, discovering methods to protect herself by hiding her authentic self. Years of healing and revelation guided her to embrace her feminine power and recognize that “human beings are divine in the flesh, right now! here!” Her artwork centers on capturing and expressing this healing journey, and she hopes through her art she can help others feel empowered.
