“Tavallaei creates work that bounces between references and symbols to invent a new visual language altogether; one both rooted in her ethnic identities and restless to fabricate something more; both culturally and existentially. “Each generation must choose what to hold on to and what to release,” she says, and her work echoes this intergenerational triage: the duty to collect, assemble, adorn, but also the responsibility of knowing what must be let go.”
— Chukwudi Ukonne, In Constant Translation: Leili Arai Tavallaei’s tender archive of memory
