All The News..., 2011-2016

All the news... looks at the private spaces of some of my fellow Iranian-Canadians in Toronto. This project originally started with a self-portrait, capturing myself while I was checking the news of post-Green Movement events, which had started in 2009 but were still going on in 2011. I then continued the project by photographing my Iranian friends in Toronto, as I saw many of us end our nights, which is just the morning of the next day in Iran, by checking out the news; to either hear something pleasant that makes us want to move back, or unpleasant, to secretly reaffirm our decision to emigrate.
