These photographs explore the silent passages of the city — the intersection of movement, solitude, and the everyday.

Since 2019, I have wandered through Tehran’s metro stations, buses, and streets, drawn to moments when people slip inward — pauses in their rhythm, glances lost in thought, bodies held between destinations.

My lens tries to capture more than the visible: the unseen second self of urban life, the shifting self-image of a city in transformation, and the soft undercurrents of fatigue, wonder, and quiet introspection.

This is an ongoing project — a continuous attempt to understand how the city and its people reflect one another, how both change and remain.

Here, the city becomes a mirror: for its people and for me. I invite you to these frames, to witness the subtle choreography of transit, isolation, and connection — to see what the city sees of us.
