Off—Space is part of the Choom Outside series —
a traveling project that brings art into everyday places.
Our goal is to bring art closer to people in the city —
not through formal exhibitions, but by placing artworks in spaces where daily life unfolds.
This project isn’t just about putting art on walls.
It’s about creating moments for dialogue, shared experience, and connection.

No. 03 — Avand Café
The third stop in the Off—Space Project returns to Avand Café, in the city of Rasht.
This chapter presents a work by Yasaman Ataei — a dialogue between nature and the intricate weave of life itself.
The calm mountains in the distance seem to rest, while the green lines in the foreground move restlessly, as if tracing life’s unending motion.
Ataei’s painting unfolds within contrast — stillness and turbulence, distance and proximity, quiet and pulse.
It reminds us that harmony often lies within tension, and that serenity, too, can hold the memory of movement.
At Avand, once again, the wall becomes a surface for contemplation — a place where landscape meets emotion, and where seeing turns into sensing.
