Embodiment of the Intertwined
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Consequential to the traumatic societal and political situation in my motherland, Iran, the number of Iranian diasporas has increased all over the world, and the Persian cultural, social, and political borders have been expanded much wider than their geographical ones. While this immigrant populace living in the receiver societies is still affected psychologically, and physically by the traumas coming from their land of origin. \n \nFor this thesis, I as an Iranian female artist, living in exile, and as a cancer survivor, interrogating my body and my soul, about what I have experienced in my social-political time and place. The research applied a combination of studio-based exploration through video performance and sculptural installation, supported by library-based investigation which lies in the intersection of psychoanalysis, trauma’s physical and psychological impacts, displacement, politics, and art. I use the idea of Jungian archetypes alongside Gabor Maté's work in When the Body Says No to argue that the social-political traumas from the homeland will never be erased from immigrants' bodies, minds, and souls. I examine how the chronic pain that runs through my body is interwoven with the trauma of people living in Iran through the sense of empathy, and how this situation could be explored through the lens of such Jungian archetypes as the Caregiver. \n \nMy work visually explores reconstructing Iranian cultural elements, like the Persian rug, through/with my body. The Routes of Blood is a creation of Persian rug sand installation, which embodies my labor, physical presence, soul, and mind in the space, simultaneously. In The Woven Bodies Series, the image of my body through repetition forms the textile patterns of the Persian Rug. The act of performing with the rug and its documentation symbolically represents my memories of my motherland and the trauma that resonates through the afflictions of the chronic pain I have experienced. \n \nThe thesis is a visualization of the trauma experienced in my Iranian body in the disassociated space of a diasporic context within Canada.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
