Artist Statement

In “Vanishing Legacy: The Tale of Forgotten Heritage,” I explore the abandonment of Iranian heritage due to the dominance of dogmatic religious beliefs. Through my photographs, I highlight how Persian culture and traditions are being overlooked and fading into obscurity. Using digital decoupage techniques, I aim to convey the profound neglect experienced by Persian heritage in modern times.

The series serves as a poignant reminder of the cultural treasures that are at risk of being lost. It urges viewers to reflect on the delicate balance between modernity and the preservation of cultural identity. My goal is to provoke awareness and dialogue about the consequences of neglecting Persian heritage and to encourage the audience to remember and safeguard the cultural treasures of Iran.
