A photo series reflecting Iranian death rituals and the symbolism of carpets.

Rooted in a personal experience, the burial of the artist’s grandmother in a coastal Iranian town, this series examines how carpets are imbued with the symbolic weight of an ending life. Each carpet holds traces: footsteps, gatherings, celebrations. With death, these objects are often abandoned or disappear. This is a study of presence and absence, of human lives marked not just by bodies, but by the objects we leave behind.
