“A’ar-05”:
A’ar is an ancient word in Persian. Even a word’s meaning is born and then distorted, it comes and it goes. It means a thing and it goes out of meaning. The word “A’ar” is not used today in any form, and it doesn’t have much of a special place in Persian language anymore.
In the Persian dictionary, the meanings described for this word are:
A’ar
A baby who is weaned early
A donkey’s sound (heehaw)
To make someone sad and grieve
A disease which makes the camel wool to fall off
A’ar is a narration and a reflection of an ancient house that carries a thousand memories, bittersweet moments for every single person. Narratives that originate and come from them individually. And when these people go to that place, each of them remembers their own story.
