Title: Silecne of My Grandmother's Eyes, 2015
Location: Artist's Collection
Sahak Poghosyan: "The project Silence of my grandmother's eyes has been a silent monologue for nearly 50 years... my paternal grandmother was the first person, who connected me with the surrounding world... in my memory I still carry the odor of my childhood, which I scented sleeping in my grandmother's embrace... it was a story with hazy colors, which I was always keen to depict…And now , presenting it, the silent sorrow of her blue eyes recovers in my memory, yelling out the hellish path of the Genocide… Surviving a real hell she never told about it ... she did not tell, but with the right of a survival she transmitted it to the ones who live ... carrying as a relic a patch of the blue sky of her lost homeland in her eyes ..."
