The years between 2020 and 2022 were the most active and hard years of my career and my life. During these years, this video that was forming alongside the photo series projects was LUT: documenting The Lut Desert, a tract of sand and fantastical rock formations in southeastern Iran, which is one of the hottest places on Earth, consisting of dunes, ergs, mega-yardangs (Kaluts), desert pavement, as well as large flat areas of salty soils. LUT reminds me of the shape of women’s bodies and the body of the earth. Through my eyes, I have touched the symphony of images there. Before taking any photographs of nature and landscapes, this project helped me to breathe and have a deeper view of life.
