“Four Generations in a Barn” (2024) by Kimia Ferdowsi Kline is an evocative ink and pigment work on Egyptian papyrus. The composition intertwines abstract human forms with geometric shapes in a narrative that suggests heritage, memory, and the cyclical nature of existence. Brown tonalities and white lines create a raw yet poetic aesthetic, evoking ancient iconography through a modern, minimalist lens. Kline’s work channels both ancestral strength and the fragile threads that bind generations, capturing the universal rhythm of continuity within the sanctity of the domestic sphere.
