This photograph was taken inside Kooshk-e Salami, a historic mansion in Iran. A solitary woman stands beneath the arched ceiling, illuminated by a beam of light that I enhanced to emphasize atmosphere. On the walls, people have etched their names as personal mementos, silent traces of their presence across time. Surrounded by these inscriptions, the figure embodies solitude and longing, as if immersed in the echoes of the past.
