Self Portrait
2006-2007
Ice head portrait of the artist, white daisies
Laleh Gallery, Tehran. 2006
Tehran Gallery, 2007

A melting self portrait, made of ice, is a metaphor of an individual in a society in which every effort is useless.
The black cloths with white writings on them are associated with Iranian funerals. So are the white flowers. However, there is also a sense of hopefulness and a reference to the role of the artist; because the melting head portrait irrigates the flowers during the time of the exhibition.
Mobed performed another experience with black ice head, using ink. On the pedestal it is written: “I am standing” which refers this time to the resistance of the artist.
