ABOUT THE ARTWORK
In “Calcified Love,” Haleh Mashian captures the poignant contrast between nostalgic memories of the past and the stark reality of the present. An elderly couple sits on a park bench, noticeably distant from each other, their bodies avoiding physical contact. Meanwhile, on the left side of the canvas, a portrayal harks back to a time when love was abundant between them. The title itself, “Calcified Love,” offers an insight into the intended interpretation of the piece—a reflection on the gradual hardening and eventual stagnation of marital bliss and domestic harmony.
