This piece began to take shape during a phone conversation with my mother. At some point, she called me by my name, and in that brief moment, I could feel the intensity of the love between us in her voice—just in the way she said that one word. What is it about her voice that holds and transmits such a powerful emotional energy?
The work is deeply personal, but speaks universally of the way a mother’s voice, in its unique resonance, carries a form of love that transcends words and connects across experiences.
Parsa is interested in a broader exploration of voice, presence, and emotional memory.
The artist would like to thank all the mothers who participated in the project. Special thanks to Mohamd Reza Hasan, the project’s sound designer.
Parsa Kamehkhosh (he/him) is a performance artist and designer currently residing in Helsinki, Finland. His practice explores the matter of “being in the world” in the context of the interaction between daily life and the notion of life on the existential level. He often employs objects and materials as manifestations of contemporary human everyday aesthetics and in relation to various narratives that define the position of humans in the universe and beyond. His works maneuver on the borders of the inner and external worlds, natural and supernatural, seen and unseen.
