ORDINARY GRIEF| Parisa Asadi
‘Ordinary Grief’ by Parisa Azadi is a story of reconciliation. The project examines the tension between the photographer’s identity and Iran's transition between tradition and modernity.
Azadi said about her project: “In 2017, I returned to Iran after 25 years of self-exile, where I embarked on a personal and political reclamation of my identity and history. With images spanning 2017-2021, ‘Ordinary Grief’ is my attempt to reconcile despair and joy, exhaustion and hope. It’s about ordinary Iranians actively trying to create new futures for themselves despite the odds. It’s a love letter to a country from which I feel estranged, despite having been born there, and to the people who call it home. The photographs mark the passage of time as they document physical, emotional, and political limbo: they question what it means to long and belong."
Parisa Azadi is an Iranian-Canadian visual journalist who investigates the nuanced dynamics of communities living in the aftermath of war in the Middle East. Azadi was recognized by World Press Photo's 6x6 Global Talent Program in 2021.
