I Don't Think You're Ready to Come This Way is part of Sassan Behnam Bakhtiar’s This Way series – an intimate yet powerful body of work that shines a contemporary light on the historical heritage of the artist’s native country, Iran.

In I Don't Think You're Ready to Come This Way, contrasting geometrical collage of traditional tapestry against the magnificent hidden corridors of an old Iran unveils the modernity and relevance of Iran’s history in the modern world. For Behnam Bakhtiar, every work from This Way series seeks to strike a balance between the art historical legacy of Persia and the political context that colours this region today.
