What always impresses me are the attractive faces of the people of my country, Afghanistan And also the eyes of many people, even when they are happy, there is still a deep sadness behind each person's eyes, it influenced me more and forced me to do more portrait photography.
A collection of 200 portraits of Afghan people that
each portrait interprets the narrative of one year of
a person's life.
Faces from different tribes and regions of
Afghanistan.
In this collection, I have tried not to name any of
the models! Because I intend for the audience to
communicate with the eyes of each model without
knowing the model, and it can be said that when a
feeling is taken from each portrait, it is actually the
communication of a soul to another soul.
And when we come to the understanding that
through the eyes, even from a distance, we can
find a spiritual connection with any human being
then we come to the conclusion that there are no
boundaries in the world! In fact, we have created
these borders ourselves!
