*“…Behold the trees, behold the trees—all steadfast, all in devotion…”*
—Ghazal 70, Divan-e Shams, Rumi

Among the countless beautiful trees I have ever seen, I have observed and drawn several with greater care: the tall, world-wise cypress of Abarkuh, the ancient mangrove of Bandar-e Khamir, the elegant Lebanese cedar in the Botanical Garden of Paris, the rounded elm living in a park near my home in Shiraz, the plane tree clinging to a rock in Qalat, and a charming wild pistachio tree residing in Malek Ghar Valley in Shiraz, whose trunk seems to smile at passersby.

description

Ravandeh, like a river that even in the valley’s descent encounters stones yet finds its way. I always find myself humming this verse by Houshang Ebtehaj:
“Like the river that, in the slope of the valley, dashes against stones / Be a passer-by; hope works no miracle from the dead; be alive.”

Ravandeh is a place for postcards—images yearning to take form; they can be photographs, paintings, sketches, prints, or embroideries. Each one is a fragment of someone’s journey, now captured on a postcard.

Ravandeh began with the Kouhestan (Mountain) series—a space where life and resilience flow through every moment. I hope Ravandeh can convey that sensation of being alive in the moment—a kind of raw, authentic life, even within this digital world.

I’m Faëzeh Darvish, and Ravandeh grew from my passion for seeing and preserving moments. Each postcard is a gentle invitation to pause, for those who, like me, find heart in simple, genuine details.

Ravandeh is not just a postcard shop—it’s a brief respite within the rush, a way to express what can be held within the frame of an image.
