فرش ایرانی به زعم فوکو نمونه ای از همان فضاهای هتروتوپیایی است که او معرفی می کند. ساختار طرح فرش عمدتا استعاره ای از حیات و هستی است و هماهنگی بین فرم و محتوای آن شکل ظاهر را به محتوای تفکر اسطوره ای آن پیوند میزند
مجموعه باغ مقدس نیز بر آن است تا نقش فرش را که همانا تکه ای از هستی است در برشی از زمان ثبت و ضبط کند. از موضوعات رایج در فرش های ایرانی، گل است. تصویر یک باغ سرسبز که عمیقا ریشه در میراث مذهبی و فرهنگی طراحی ایرانی دارد. طراحی باغ معمولا بر اساس باغ های رسمی در ایران باستان و پریان باستان ساخته شده است که مملو از گل ها و گیاهانی که توسط پانل های زینتی از مسیر راه جدا می شود. به نظر می رسد که باغ، بهشت را درست از آسمان می آورند و می خواهند آن را روی زمین بگذارند و بر آن زندگی کنند. آوردن باغ ازآسمان بر روی زمین و راه رفتن بر روی آن و احساسی که می خواهید آن را در زندگی برای خود همیشه حفظ کنید. تصور زندگی بر روی قطعه ای از تاریخ و فرهنگ و نفس کشیدن در فضایی که نمادی از طبیعت ناب است . جایی که گویا مدت زمان طولانی است که زمان در آن متوقف شده است، اما انسان همچنان به ریتم ابدی طبیعت در آن زندگی می کند. زمان عبور می کند و همه چیز به آرامی، اما بی وقفه تغییر می کند. یک روز خیلی طول نخواهد کشید اما تغییرات اتفاق می افتد. هر روز کمی متفاوت است، کمی به این طریق و کمی به طریق دیگر اما کاملا بی اراده. می خواستم زمان را متوقف کنم و باغ را ترک کنم و اجازه ندهم بمیرد. من می خواستم بهشت برای همیشه در سکوت باقی بماند. من می خواهم در بهشت زندگی کنم بهشت را زنده نگه دارم
به گفته آناهیتا غضنفری
براستی اعتقاد دارم که هنر سرشار از احساس است و در نفس انسان قرار دارد
هنر به وسیله ی انرژی های هارمونیک و زیبایی طبیعت به وجد می آید
طبیعت در درون ما است همان طور که در اطراف ما است و ما از آن سرچشمه می گیریم و
مدرنیته این حقیقت را رد نمی کند
طبیعت اولین خلاقیت های درون یک هنرمند را لمس و طلب می کند. بنابراین آثار هنری
روح و شخصیت هنرمند را به دنیای بیرون بروز می دهد
در مورد من ، طبیعت با تسلط بر زیبایی باشکوه و تناقض اش
با ناپایداری و زوال تدریجی بوجود آمده توسط بلند پروازی و محدودیت های انسان
با روح من سخن میگوید
و در نهایت طبیعت به ما منبع امید و تداوم را می شناساند

The carpet design structure is mostly a metaphor of life and existence, and links the harmony ( form of harmony) between form and content of that form of appearance to its mythical thought content. The Sacred Garden also seeks to record the pattern of carpet as representative of the world at some point in time to make eternal. One of the most common themes in persian rugs is Floral. The image of a lush garden is one that deeply rooted in both the religious and cultural heritage of the persian design. Garden design is usually based on the formal gardens of ancient persia with their abundance of flora separated by pathways and ornamental panels. It seems the garden is coming straight from heaven, that they want to have it on earth and live on it. The Idea of bringing the garden on earth and walk on it every day feels that you want to keep it in your life forever.
Nature features prominently in Anahita’s body of work, combined with elements of memories from her past and influences from Iranian Islamic art. Despite accepting the modern world, Anahita realizes that nature is all enveloping, and that we, too, are very much a part of nature.
As she said:
“I truly believe that art is soulful and resides deep within oneself. Art is roused by
the harmonious vibes and beauty of nature that envelopes us. Nature is within us
as it is around us and we all hail from nature. Modernity does not annul this fact.
Nature touches and invokes its most primal creativity in an artist. Hence, works of
art are projections of an artist's soul to the outside world. In my case, nature
speaks to my soul and predominantly through its magnificent beauty and
permanence paradoxical to the evanescence imposed by human ambition and
limitations. Nature gives us recognition of source and hope of continuity.”

Overview and HistoryTehran is the capital of Iran and the largest city in the Middle East, with a population of fifteen million people living under the peaks of the Alborz mountain range.Although archaeological evidence places human activity around Tehran back into the years 6000BC, the city was not mentioned in any writings until much later, in the thirteenth century. It's a relatively new city by Iranian standards.But Tehran was a well-known village in the ninth century. It grew rapidly when its neighboring city, Rhages, was destroyed by Mongolian raiders. Many people fled to Tehran.In the seventeenth century Tehran became home to the rulers of the Safavid Dynasty. This is the period when the wall around the city was first constructed. Tehran became the capital of Iran in 1795 and amazingly fast growth followed over the next two hundred years.The recent history of Tehran saw construction of apartment complexes and wide avenues in place of the old Persian gardens, to the detriment of the city's cultural history.The city at present is laid out in two general parts. Northern Tehran is more cosmopolitan and expensive, southern Tehran is cheaper and gets the name "downtown."Getting ThereMehrabad airport is the original one which is currently in the process of being replaced by Imam Khomeini International Airport. The new one is farther away from the city but it now receives all the international traffic, so allow an extra hour to get there or back.TransportationTehran driving can be a wild free-for-all like some South American cities, so get ready for shared taxis, confusing bus routes and a brand new shiny metro system to make it all better. To be fair, there is a great highway system here.The metro has four lines, tickets cost 2000IR, and they have segregated cars. The women-only carriages are the last two at the end, FYI.Taxis come in two flavors, shared and private. Private taxis are more expensive but easier to manage for the visiting traveler. Tehran has a mean rush hour starting at seven AM and lasting until 8PM in its evening version. Solution? Motorcycle taxis! They cut through the traffic and any spare nerves you might have left.People and CultureMore than sixty percent of Tehranis were born outside of the city, making it as ethnically and linguistically diverse as the country itself. Tehran is the most secular and liberal city in Iran and as such it attracts students from all over the country.Things to do, RecommendationsTake the metro to the Tehran Bazaar at the stop "Panzda Gordad". There you can find anything and everything -- shoes, clothes, food, gold, machines and more. Just for the sight of it alone you should take a trip there.If you like being outside, go to Darband and drink tea in a traditional setting. Tehranis love a good picnic and there are plenty of parks to enjoy. Try Mellat park on a friday (fridays are public holidays), or maybe Park Daneshjou, Saaii or Jamshidieh.Remember to go upstairs and have a look around, always always always! The Azadi Tower should fit the bill; it was constructed to commemorate the 2500th anniversary of the Persian Empire.Tehran is also full of museums such as:the Contemporary Art Museumthe Abghine Musuem (glass works)the 19th century Golestan Royal Palace museumthe museum of carpets (!!!)Reza Abbasi Museum of extraordinary miniaturesand most stunning of all,the Crown Jewels Museum which holds the largest pink diamond in the world and many other jaw-dropping jewels.Text by Steve Smith.
