Vohu-Manah (Vohuman) in Bundahishn by Elham Fallahi :The Wounded Guardian of Waters, Raha Gallery Collection

The sculpture Vohuman occupies the uppermost position in the vast and astonishing installation Bundahishn—placed precisely above the figure of Ahura Mazda. It is not merely one among the 82 sculptures constituting the work; it bears a distinct philosophical reading: a figure with closed eyes, holding a fish to its chest. Fallahi’s Vohuman is the wounded guardian of life—an entity that, in a chaotic world, brings forth good thoughts not by force, but through an embrace.
