From laughter to cry’s take off

When Aishe Vejdani first engaged her works with her familial history, she started off intuitively with the three paintings below. She painted herself with shoes and clothes she had packed and unpacked during her multiple relocations between places and countries. Looking back it looks like Vejdani was symbolically about to unpack and get ready for one of the most important themes of her practice: memory in relation to her familial history. Even though she ended up not showing these three works later at the B galleria exhibition in 2019, nevertheless these paintings have been influential in her practice since then.
