Full Statement (133 Words) Telematic Media Arts presents Breathe the Sun, a multimedia video installation by Los Angeles-based Iranian artist Shaghayegh Cyrous, which appeals to ancient Persian origin stories to address the contemporary experience of being caught between social, political, religious, and geographical forces. Through ancestral memory, mythology, and inherited forms of wisdom, the work becomes a search for light, harmony, and survival amidst instability and conflict. Inhalation and exhalation are the simplest forms of death and rebirth: a cycle, a return, a beginning again. Breath is the first rhythm of animal life on this planet. Drawing from 3,500 year old Iranian mythology and Zoroastrianism, focused on primal creation, Breathe the Sun reflects on the ancient struggle between light and darkness, creation and destruction, good and evil, in terms that are both cosmic and deeply personal.

Rooted in mythology, nature, and social and political power dynamics, her work explores identity, belonging, and the spiritual threads that connect us across time and culture. Through poetic imagery and theatrical environments, Cyrous brings forward hidden stories passed down through myth, poetry, and acts of resistance, creating dreamlike spaces where the ancient and contemporary meet. Cyrous received her BA in Visual Art from Science and Culture University of Tehran and her MFA in Social Practice from California College of the Arts in San Francisco. Cyrous has exhibited and performed internationally at venues such as Tehran MOCA, the British Museum in London, the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, Institut für Alles Mögliche in Berlin, Germany, the Anchorage Museum in Alaska, Salesforce Tower in San Francisco, and Netflix’s Invisible Billboard and the billboard of the City of West Hollywood in Los Angeles.
