Persepolis is a photographic study of a place where architecture, history, and erosion remain inseparable. Rather than treating the site only as an archaeological record, I focus on stone, repetition, relief, scale, and the traces left by time. The photographs move between monumental views and quieter details, allowing the ruins to exist as both historical evidence and a living visual presence. I am interested in the tension between permanence and loss—how a structure built to project power can, centuries later, speak just as strongly through what has disappeared.
