AYSE TAKI GALLERY in Istanbul, Turkey, hosts a new series of art jewelry by Nafiseh Khoshandam and Bahareh Ghaderi as “Hoping Against Hope” from March 7 – 25, 2022. The pieces in this exhibition are made out of cast portions of traditional Middle Eastern jewelry. The partial and damaged elements represent the turmoil and challenges that have afflicted the rich cultural heritage of the Middle East in the modern era, but the underlying beauty of these forms proves that even within loss, worth and value can still remain.

The work of Nafiseh and Bahareh, along with the Hoping Against Hope series was covered in the most recent issue of Ornament, Volume 42 No. 3.
