Project Statement: Frames of Anxiety

​

“Frames of Anxiety” documents the impact of COVID-19 on daily life in

Khuzestan, southwest Iran. Through hospitals, testing sites, and public

spaces, the series captures both the tangible realities and emotional

experiences of the pandemic.

The photographs reveal anxiety, grief, and fear alongside moments of

solidarity, hope, and adaptation. Intimate, human-centered images convey

the resilience of communities navigating lockdowns, social distancing, and

uncertainty.

Rooted in Khuzestan but resonating globally, this project serves as both a

historical record and a reflection on universal human vulnerability and

endurance during an extraordinary crisis.
