==================================================================================================
Iranian artist Maryam Ashkanian has created a captivating artistic project called the "Sleep Series", where she embroidered life-size portraits of people resting on pillows. This series beautifully captures the quiet vulnerability and intimate moments of sleep, transforming a simple everyday object into a profound exploration of human connection [1].
Each pillow in the series becomes a window into the dream world, blending delicate stitching with subtle paint to bring sketches to life in textures so realistic that they blur the line between thread and cloth. The pillows reflect familiar resting positions, inviting viewers to reflect on the universal experience of sleep and rest [1][3].
Ashkanian's work evokes a tender sense of intimacy, connecting viewers emotionally with the portrayed subjects. Her pieces transcend the ordinary, merging human vulnerability with the comforting nature of pillows, thereby exploring the complexity of human relationships and the quiet moments that connect us all [1][3].
