If we trusted our psyches, we would understand that the line between the past and the present, the near and the far, the living and the dead, does not exist. We would
understand that one does not ask time what time it is. The series Carriers is rooted in a desire to uncover memories inherited, but never lived. It unfolds through the exploration of the clandestine devices of the darkroom and found press photographs of the Iranian revolution and its aftermath. Carriers testify to absence and presence, disappearance and memories of what once was but is now irretrievably lost.
