Most of my works are selfportraits, and I managed to be a part of them to capture the best performance there could be.
The chosen locations differ from subject to subject, and I usually choose the more manageable and most available site- in my own room.
- Ghazal Abbasi
My goal is to express my thoughts and feelings through the art of composition in photography. I would like the viewers to feel and understand every detail in each photo's depth, emotions, and content. Every image hides a most profound feeling and a back story, the story of how I felt when it was captured. And I believe when words can't talk, photos will.
DANCE OF SORROW: As I lived in Iran my whole life, and the living situation became worse and more complex with every passing day, I felt a deep and heavy pain in my heart, and I couldn't help myself with anything to cheer myself up. It wasn't just me who was suffering from the people's sorrow living in my motherland. I felt a feeling of deep sorrow when I faced the truth while I was a teenager. I understood that my options were limited and that I could not develop. I wanted to contribute and help my people be happy again or make my country true heaven, where all the children could be happy without any traumas; I felt sorry for children born in this reality.
I didn't choose to be born, but I don't want another child to feel the same way as I. The spirit of mother earth is mourning for a cursed embryo that rolls and dances in her womb. She dances, but not happily.
