TORANJ (2023) - 4 min

A continuous shot reveals a highway noise barrier adorned with anti-state slogans, remnants of the Woman-Life-Freedom movement. Despite authority's attempts to erase, these slogans stand firm, synthesizing with the scribbles that aim to conceal them. Against the urban backdrop, this interplay of defiance and suppression creates patterns like a Toranj on a Persian carpet. As the city's pulse endures, questions emerge—why do these voices persist, and what story is behind it? The journey concludes with a quote, "Toranj cannot be scribbled off," a testament to a movement's enduring nature—an unending pattern, forever in motion, forever blooming.
