“Tehran Pallet”

The visual content that we perceive in Tehran in our everyday lives is affected by presuppositions with regards the aesthetics of its hidden color fields. Taking the images of Tehran (the scenes we all despise) and extracting their colors are a protest against the memories embedded in them and giving meaning to their structures.

Hide & Seek
Hiding conveys a sense of autonomy that is accompanied by joy; however, if one is not pursued and found afterwards, the result will be solitude. Seeking is a way to care and love; to stop and appreciate every single detail not as a passing effect but as an independent part that deserves our attention. Without passion, details will remain concealed.
