Aghigh Afkhami (B. 1996) graduated from the Soore University of Tehran with a bachelor’s degree in graphic design. Her specialisation is in directing, photography, graphics, and visual identity. In her approach towards photography, she adopts varying points of view. In one, she focuses on messy random objects and finds a specialized discipline for them. In the other, she dabbles with fashion editorials that takes inspiration by Noir. In her video work, Sahereh (2022), selected for the exhibition, themes around the intricate nature between creation and destruction are drawn out by way of highlighting the perplexity of humans in the face of nature and their attempts to create their own space. Here, her works attend to the intent of the exhibition’s curatorial premise to mark conditions of belonging and displacement.
