About this artwork
This work is a deeply personal self-portrait based on a childhood memory. At the age of four, I danced joyfully in my cousin's skirt at my own birthday party. It was one of the happiest moments of my life. But this memory later became a source of shame and ridicule, replayed repeatedly in a family video that became a painful tradition.
In the painting, my hands send out a silent cry for help—one clenched into a fist, the other forming the word… "Help me." The work is anchored by a genuine piece of an old Persian carpet—a symbol of my Iranian heritage and the same kind of carpet I used to dance on.
It is a reflection on identity, memory, queerness and the deep traces that early experiences can leave.

Iman Scheiko, born in Shiraz and now living in Berlin, works as a painter with a deep background in photography and intercultural experience. His works combine ancient Persian patterns with the modern multifacetedness of Berlin, revealing a compelling contrast between past and present, often incorporating paradoxical and harmonious elements. Through his art, he conveys powerful emotions of introspection, self-discovery, and acceptance, while sensitively and powerfully addressing social issues as well as queer and masculine identities.
