1 A Gift of Love Saideh Mirzai , 2021 single work
— Appears in: Southerly , vol. 79 no. 2 2021; (p. 96-98) 'My sculpture, "Love," is constituted from three calligraphic characters in the Farsi alphabet. When connected, the characters form the word ‘love.’ In this piece they are set apart to signify heartbreak. The inspiration for the sculpture is my personal heartbreak at the cruel treatment of refugees by successive Australian governments. Having been the recipient of such a treatment I created this piece with the intention of gifting it to the Parliament House as a reminder of love as well as the heartbreak cruel political decisions can cause in fellow human beings.'
