About me
All my life , i have been trying to see what i could call " the truth". What i remember is that i was always too angry ,unsatisfied & distracted. I`ve been lost in nowhere for a long time. From a rebellious English student in Allameh University of Tehran on my way to become either a translator or teacher, to the next surprising journey of studying Pharmacy In India , it took me years to find Home . And Home is where you go ,when you run out of Homes. My Humanitarian activities throughout India ,while studying in Bangalore , all led me to an awareness of a way i could understand both the world`s and my language. Photography was not a thing to me but a way to finally realize what my issues and questions are , then to understand how i could bring them up. To go beyond the circle i was living and to create different forms of perceptions. To pass the filter of Egoism which for many is giving meaning to everything they see ,feel and touch.Art introduced me to bravery and decency. I understood it`s not me who is important, not even my pictures.It`s my subjects that are important. There is no accidental photograph. It`s always your choice ,your turmoil that makes it.

Metroment
I always see myself too close jumping into the abyss. But somehow ,i end up getting on the next train. Windows,doors,trains,buses,airports,stations,backyards. They all have magical power to change my answers. My questions even. The world in between. Maybe my key is always waiting in that world. ” In between things ”

The lines of my childhood(Part I)
