Sofia Zareizadeh SLU 2026, "The Elephant in the Room"
This piece reflects the tension of living between two realities: being physically safe, while loved ones remain in danger far away. It speaks to the experience of diaspora and the quiet weight of separation.
The central figure sits on three forms representing my family, showing how love and community uplift and support us, even from a distance. Her eyes are closed in denial and rejection of reality, yet slightly open revealing an awareness she cannot fully escape. From her hands, strands of thought emerge, expressing the constant flow of overwhelming and inescapable thinking. The "elephant in the room" represents an unspoken issue something everyone is aware of, yet chooses not to acknowledge. People remain in their comfort, avoiding it, while those directly affected are left to endure it in isolation. Her hair moves like waves of overthinking, carrying fish that symbolize hope. As the fish fall to the ground and die, they reflect false hope-hope that once existed but could not survive.
Next to the pond lies my cat hunting fish in the pond. Between her legs, a group of candles burns slowly, marking the passage of time; quiet, painful, and unavoidable.
Together, these elements express the grief, distance, and emotional complexity of leaving behind loved ones. The drawing includes the text from a note found in a pocket of an Iranian soldier martyred during the recent war that reads, " The world is a bad place, because even if you gain it all, you have gained nothing, but that is also the beauty of this world even if you lose it all, you have in reality lost nothing."
