زمستان، تبریز را شاعر میکند
و برف، نقطهچینِ دلتنگیهای ناگفتهی شهر میشود.
صبح برفی تبریز
Winter turns Tabriz into a poet,
and snow becomes the ellipses of the city’s unspoken longings.
A snowy morning in Tabriz.

«اینبار نه برای کار،
که برای برف نشستهاند؛
برای چیزی که نیامدنش
سنگینتر از هر بار است.»
This time, not for work,
but for snow.
For something whose absence
weighs the most.

نارنگیها فروختند
دخترک و پدر خندیدند
راه خانه کوتاه شد
روز دختر مبارک
Tangerines sold
The little girl and her father laughed
Home feels closer now
Happy Girls’ Day

When Death Knocks, Life Answers
Life and death are inseparable, finding meaning in each other like night and day—each incomplete without its counterpart. Death, with all its enormity and inevitability, forces us to confront the transient nature of life and cherish moments we often overlook. The COVID-19 pandemic brutally highlighted this truth. Death arrived uninvited, narrowing the gap between life and its end to an almost invisible thread. Farewells became hurried whispers, embraces remained undone, and grief settled silently in homes worldwide. Yet, amidst this overwhelming shadow, life asserted itself with renewed urgency, demanding recognition of its worth.
This book serves as a visual testimony of those harrowing days when life and death intertwined so closely that they appeared as one. It not only captures losses but also resilience, not just mourning but vitality that refused to fade. Each image explores the essence of life as it persisted, even in the presence of death. These photographs are not just records of what was lost, but attempts to reveal what was found: the enduring power of love, memory, and the human spirit.
Simone de Beauvoir wrote in "All Men Are Mortal" that death is the only certainty we all share. Yet, life, with its fragility, offers us a profound gift: the opportunity to create meaning, forge connections, and leave something of ourselves behind. This collection of photographs reflects that truth. Through moments of grief and farewell, it shows how life changes and flows even in the face of endings. Cemeteries, often seen as symbols of silence and stillness, emerge here as spaces for reflection, renewal, and even unexpected tenderness.
The pandemic served as a stark reminder that life is both fragile and brief. As Dr. Ali Shariati once said, "Teach me how to live, for I will learn how to die myself." These images reflect that sentiment, portraying death not as an end, but as a transition that urges us to embrace life more intentionally. They ask: How do we honor life in the face of death? How can we use the moments we are given to love, create, and endure?

جمعهی پیش،
گل سرخ خشکید—
بر چشم مرد نشست.
Last Friday,
a rose fell into silence—
across the man’s closed eyes.

روبهروی افقی خاموش، اسکلهای ایستاده؛
نه برای پهلو گرفتن قایقها، که برای ایستادن بر خاطرهی آبی که دیگر نیست!
(درباچهی ارومیه)
Facing a silent horizon, a pier stands still—
not for boats to dock,
but to rest upon the memory of a water that is no more.
(Lake Urmia)

آن روزها،
آب، افق را معنا میکرد؛
.
.
.
امروز،
میان حافظه و غیاب؛
تنها یک قدم
مانده به آخرین تصویر!
(دریاچهی ارومیه)
Back then,
water defined the horizon;
.
.
.
Now,
between memory and absence,
one step remains
to the final frame.

«در سرزمینی که انتظار پناه داشتیم،
نه درمان یافتیم و نه التیامی برای زخمهای جانمان.
نه دستی بود که مرهمی شود،
و نه نگاهی که غربتمان را بفهمد.
زخمهایمان تنها بر بدن نماند؛
روح و کرامتمان را نیز خراشید.»
«زن افغان»
“In the land where we sought refuge,
we found neither healing nor solace for the wounds of our souls.
No hand reached out to soothe us,
no gaze understood our exile.
Our wounds did not remain on our bodies alone;
they scarred our spirits and dignity as well.”
Afghan Woman

خریدِ جمعه:
گلدانِ سفیدِ سنگین؛
نه فقط خریدی ساده؛
«باری مقدس»

برای کسی که در خانه بیصبرانه منتظر او بود!

Friday’s purchase:
a heavy white flowerpot;
not merely a simple buy,
but a sacred burden…
…for the one
who waited at home
with breathless longing.

در آستانهی سیزدهبدر، کلیسای سنت استپانوس جلفا
فردا، سبزهها به آب سپرده میشوند، دلها به طبیعت پناه میبرند، و باد، غمهای کهنه را با خود میبرد.
اینجا، زمان در لحظهای معلق است؛جایی که سنگهای کهن کلیسا با تصویر حکشده بر تیشرت مسافری از دوردستها چشم در چشم شدهاند.
رنسانس در برابر کهنسرزمین، فلسفه در برابر ایمان، نقاشی رافائل در برابر سنگ.
و فردا، این سرزمین راز این تلاقی را در باد خواهد خواند.
(از مجموعهی «فردایی که دیروز شد!»)
On the Eve of Sizdah Bedar, St. Stepanos Church, Jolfa
Tomorrow, the sprouted greens of Nowruz (SABZEH) will be cast into the water, hearts will seek refuge in nature, and the wind will carry away old sorrows.
Here, time lingers in a suspended moment—where the ancient stones of the church gaze into the eyes of a distant traveler’s t-shirt, bearing an image from another world.
Renaissance against an ancient land, philosophy against faith, Raphael’s painting against stone.
And tomorrow, this land will whisper the secret of this encounter to the wind.
