Iran, Untitled 2014

Gohar Dashti's 2014 photograph "Iran, Untitled" is a striking example of her photo-series "The Land of the Lost" (2011-2014). The image captures a group of people, partially obscured by a patterned rug, lying on the parched terrain of the Iranian landscape. Dashti's work often explores the relationship between individuals and their environment, using the stark beauty of the Iranian desert as a backdrop for her compelling narratives. This photograph, through its minimalist composition and sense of isolation, subtly highlights the complexities of life in this region.
