PARAVAN TEKKEH (2025)
PARAVAN TEKKEH combines fragments of daily objects embodying religious iconography. Depictions from Shia Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, Catholicism and the Greek Orthodox Church interlock, blurring borders and differences between them into a surrealist landscape.
PARAVAN TEKKEH divides a space to a front and a back, while leaving the two connected.
PARAVAN TEKKEH is constructed in three laquered plywood panels, each connected through three hinges.

This proposal aims at thinking from the margins to the center, as defined by bell hooks. (2)
To balance the acceleration of real-estate development in Basel, the void in the Reservoir building shows potential to become a public space. A public space not in the form shown on architectural renderings of green, in-between spaces or a Piazza inspired by the Italian Renaissance. The public space that is missing here is the public space of a city. Public space of a city includes all, is a space of discussion, of exchange, of history and community. It is a space of voices that are not heard in the mainstream, a space of fragments and a space of simultaneity. It is a space of different temporal laws than the fast-paced city it belongs to.
