In an essay published in Etemad on August 19, 2026, Helina Maryam Ghaemi reflects on Bita Fayyazi’s solo exhibition What Remains at Parallel Circuit. The text considers the exhibition through ideas of memory, loss, absence, and continuation, focusing on how Fayyazi’s recent drawings, earlier ceramic works, found materials, and moving image pieces register different temporalities before and after rupture. Drawing on Samuel Beckett, Jacques Derrida, and Walter Benjamin, Ghaemi reads the exhibition as a meditation on what it means for something to remain—not unchanged, but transformed through the very act of enduring.
