A Leap Has No Return
“Blanc Gallery is thrilled to present Maryam Taghavi’s solo exhibition, A Leap Has No Return, curated by Blanc Gallery Director, Rohan Ayinde.
Inspired by a pair of sigils offering the possibility to disappear and reappear, the show ruminates on the power of female agency to imagine the imperceptible. Taghavi extracted these two sigils from the Islamic occult practice of Sīmiyā, which is the arrangement of letterforms and numbers to invoke invisible powers. A form of spellcraft, sigils promise to harness these powers for the fulfilment of wishes.”
