Homesick –Azadi Azadi Tower stands as one of the most iconic buildings of Iran—its name meaning freedom, yet its reality shaped by cycles of resistance and repression. In a country where movements for liberty repeatedly rise and are forcefully silenced, the monument becomes a paradox: an emblem of hope overshadowed by violence. Homesick – Azadi is a reflection on longing—for a homeland, and for the freedom it promises but withholds. The image reimagines Azadi Tower embedded within the dense fabric of Tehran’s alleys and buildings, where ordinary life collides with fear, loss, and absence.

Biography

As an artist, I have always been drawn to the expressive power of photography. With a camera in hand, I am able to capture the world around me in new and unexpected ways, creating images that tell a story, evoke an emotion, or simply capture the beauty of the moment. My approach to art photography is deeply rooted in my own vision and personal style. I am drawn to picture things with capability to show more than just a beautiful picture, with strong compositions, and the interplay of light and shadow. Whether I am shooting landscapes, still lifes, or portraits, I always strive to create image
