PARALLEL LINES [...THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER CROSSED]

Parallel Lines (…That Should Have Never Crossed) is a personal photographic gesture on a general sense of unease in the wake of the financial crisis of 2008 when, for just a moment, the underlying power structures of our modern societies were exposed by the failure of the economic system to maintain [...]

IRANIAN ROSES
