"This photo may be the last piece I mint on the blockchain !" After 70 days of complete internet blackout in Iran, we have come to understand that this is no longer a temporary disconnection caused by war. It feels as though the people of Iran may be forced to say goodbye to the idea of a free internet forever. It is deeply painful for me, as an independent artist who has lived and created within this space, to realize that I may now have to prepare for departure. For 48 years, the people of Iran have been held hostage by a regime—and now, it feels as if they are being erased even from the free maps of the world. I hold on to hope for the freedom of all people of Iran, and for a world where freedom is not a privilege, but a shared reality. 📜 Description: This is an unedited, real photograph showing a person’s reflection in a pool of water inside the Red Soil Factory at sunset. No color grading or manipulation has been applied. I created this work as a tribute to the 40,000 freedom-seekers who stood in protest for Iran’s liberty and were killed by the regime. May their souls rest in peace, and may their names live forever. 🕊️ #IranMassacre 🩸
