Flesh

Arya Tabandehpoor

I asked my friends with grey hair to take their own portraits and send them to me. I intended to print them on a paper roll one after the other. While editing because I could not convey the idea to the friends who were doing it for me—a red theme was accidentally added to the picture, which reminded me of the darkroom and the three stages of developing, stopping, and fixing. I retained that color theme in the photograph and started reducing the pixels gradually. Eventually, a structure was designed, in which the photographic paper roll is shown.
