Fatemeh Burnes works between painting and photography to examine the traces of modern events, ecological crisis, social rupture, displacement, and inherited histories. Her paintings move through surreal, psychologically charged spaces where recognizable forms coexist with indeterminate ones.

In Let the Whispers Rise, Burnes layers, conceals, reveals, compresses, and displaces visual information. Her paintings function like visual poems in which contradictory forces remain active: order and chaos, reality and fantasy, nature and history, violence and lyricism. Rather than resolving these oppositions, Burnes allows them to circulate within the image, creating works that feel suspended between memory, dream, and warning.
