“In this collection titled ‘Tension, I have gathered approximately landscape photographs taken from different areas along the Alborz Moutain range in Iran. The photos showcase the natural beauty and geographic diversity found throughout this mountain system. Ranging from the central slopes near my family’s hometown, to the eastern foothills near my university, to the western edges I have explored traveling, each image aims to capture the tension between the rugged terrain and serene atmosphere that defines this landscape. I hope viewers can find moments of calm and intrigue within these photos, just as I have during my experiences amidst the Alborz mountains over the years.”
It is my hope that viewers can find moments of both tension and calm within these landscape photos, just as I have during my own experiences amidst the grandeur and raw beauty of the Alborz mountains over the years. Whether admiring their snowy summits from afar or hiking their winding trails up close, the Alborz continue to impress upon me their ability to inspire equally powerful feelings of tension and tranquility through their contrasting elements.”
