Specialist note

"A year earlier, I had created the "In Search of Illusion" series, which showed veiled girls with specific objects positioned above them; illusionary reflections of existing social conditions and inspired by images revisiting my mind from old memories. In Illusion in Tehran, I brought the girl to the city of Tehran, a city full of stress, which I live in and love".
