The collection/compilation attempts to focus on the concept of memories and recollection. The plates represent a figurative mechanism for memories, with pieces aligning and at times absent. On the other hand the plates portrait the fragility and vulnerability of memories.

All the photos have been selected from the albums of ordinary people in Iran, circa 1940-1970. In the past until a few decades ago there was a profession known as "Band Zani", which was the mending of bowls, tea pots, plates from various materials such as china, terracotta by a "Band Zan". The Band Zan visited neighbourhoods in search for trade. The repair was carried out by making two holes on each side of the crack/break and inserting a thin metallic or bronze wire into the hole, followed by the application of special glue over the crack. The glue was a mixture of egg whites and lime and would adhere the broken surfaces together. After the repair was completed the dishes would be used again.
