Formed from love and distance, Mahsa Attaran's exhibition My Heart is Tight For You offers meditations of family, home, and language shaped by life apart from Iran. The details within Mahsa's work linger: the smell of a mother’s cooking, the touch of a father’s hands, moments that hold both comfort and longing. Persian, with its rhythm and tenderness, runs through the work, carrying meaning that can’t always be translated. These gaps in language echo the experience of living between cultures. In this space, art becomes a way to hold grief and love side by side, to honor resilience, and to celebrate beauty. Each piece asks to be seen and heard, offering presence, tenderness, and connection.
