The Red Dress

The Red Dress portrays a haunting duality between innocence and introspection. The fragmented portrait, composed of vertical strokes and translucent layers, suggests a self divided — caught between presence and disappearance. The vivid red contrasts sharply with the muted background, embodying both vitality and emotional distance.

Through this work, Koushani continues his exploration of fractured identity, where memory, time, and perception overlap. The painting becomes a mirror of the inner self — fragile, distorted, yet profoundly human.
