Artist Statement: Jaleh Gitiforoz

“It’s a myth from everyday stories of fourteen centuries old courts.
Her thumbprints next to the tiny thumb prints of her child,
Amongst the hands of the long corridor
Is the proof of madness.” |
| "Madness of the desks and files |
| And men who record their natural right of pregnancy |
| In women’s hearts and in the files It’s a myth, burdened by everyday stories. |
| Young men and women confess their love With words of censored letters, |
| Through Morse codes and telephone lines, |
| connected to fourteen centuries old courts.* |
| Musical instruments must purify their notes |
| In fourteen centuries old courts |
| And chant farewell to music before playing. |
| Spiritual rays of fourteen centuries old judgments |
| Pass through the thickest curtains and burn |
| young exposed flesh |
| Only |
| And only |
| Fourteen centuries old laws |
| Must show you the way to heaven and hell" |
