Iran, Untitled 2014

"Iran, Untitled" (2014) by Gohar Dashti, is a photograph of a group of women dressed in black sitting on a sofa in a barren landscape. The women are positioned in a seemingly mundane situation, but Dashti's use of the desert landscape evokes a sense of isolation and alienation. The work is a commentary on the lives of women in Iran, and their experiences of social and cultural constraints. This photograph is a prime example of contemporary Iranian photography, exploring themes of identity, gender, and social commentary.
