My Brooklyn
From “Goodbye Old World“ Series
My Brooklyn is a painting and series of photographs Melody Hesaraky did in Brooklyn from 2019 to 2023. Photographs of different places and people in Brooklyn and a living hand painted map of her surroundings.
This painting was drawn delicately by emotions and intelligence. It is bringing focus on spots, signs, people and streets that extend infinity into the distance. The streets depicted embody a sense of journey, extending infinitely into the horizon, inviting contemplation on the paths we traverse in life. Shadows and light play together, creating a dialogue between the familiar and the unknown, while the details coax out personal reflections, making the artwork not just a visual experience, but an emotional exploration.
