																			Nature 
																			
																			
																			Since 
																			the 
																			distant 
																			days 
																			of 
																			the 
																			past, 
																			nature 
																			has 
																			been 
																			the 
																			direct 
																			inspiration 
																			of 
																			many 
																			visual 
																			artists. 
																			Such 
																			an 
																			inspiration 
																			becomes 
																			constructive 
																			and 
																			timelessly 
																			valuable 
																			once 
																			the 
																			artist 
																			has 
																			moved 
																			away 
																			from 
																			an 
																			objective 
																			observation, 
																			and 
																			sought 
																			to 
																			internalize 
																			the 
																			effects, 
																			translating 
																			them 
																			in 
																			their 
																			contemplative 
																			and 
																			mindful 
																			state.
																			
																			
																			 
																			
																			
																			The 
																			drawings 
																			of 
																			Nafiseh 
																			Sedighi 
																			have 
																			achieved 
																			exactly 
																			this, 
																			as 
																			they 
																			have 
																			benefited 
																			from 
																			thought, 
																			imagination 
																			and 
																			visual 
																			elements 
																			that 
																			signify 
																			place 
																			and 
																			space, 
																			taking 
																			the 
																			viewer 
																			away 
																			from 
																			an 
																			objective 
																			and 
																			familiar 
																			representation 
																			of 
																			nature, 
																			emancipating 
																			them 
																			in 
																			the 
																			artist’s 
																			abstract 
																			expanse 
																			that 
																			has 
																			continuously 
																			fed 
																			from 
																			her 
																			active 
																			and 
																			creative 
																			mind.
