Inspired by the surreal beauty of Maharloo Lake in my homeland, Iran, this piece carries a part of my world into yours. OSSEN stands against the crimson waters, with a tiny luminous sparrow glowing inside her ribcage. To me, the sparrow represents the part of us that remains free, even when life tries to cage it. The landscape is beautiful, yet the heart holds a quiet struggle — a contrast between the world we see and the hope we protect within. I wanted to share more than an image. I wanted to share a piece of where I come from, and a feeling that belongs to all of us. Created in Iran, for a world without borders.
