از چشمان هیچ زنی نباید گذشت
چشم به سادگی انچه که میبینیم نیست بلکه همراه با ادراک ذهنی ما تکمیل می شود .به دلایل ناملموسی ارزش هایی را به ان نسبت می دهیم که در تفکرما نفوذ می کند و گاه ساختار فردی را تغییر می دهد به بیان ساده تر می توان گفت چشم بیان احساس و ذخیره شدن خاطرات نهفته است . نمود فیزیکی چشم از نظر فرهنگی در کالبد فیزیکی شهر به صورت واضح ملموس است . در شهر خاطرات فردی به خاطرات جمعی تبدیل می شود و اینگونه است که چهره های فردی کنار هم قرار می گیرند و جمعی را می سازند .اما انچه در این میان می تواند یاری گر مخاطب باشد صرفا (از چشمان هیچ زنی نباید گذشت) نیست بلکه درست دیدن است و شاید یک فریم برای مخاطب این مجموعه کافی باشد تا قادر باشد درست دیدن را بیاموزد .زنان تنها با چشم هایشان می توانند در مسیر رستگاری قرار بگیرند "رحمت خداوند به چشم ها نزدیک تر است تا مغز .
متریال های این مجموعه عبارت اند از: جعبه کبریت –تیبک –کاغذ شکلات ..که حکایت از تغییر شکل دادن یک امر مصرفی است. در این میان امور به اصطلاح پیش پا افتاده از بالقوگی نابودی بیشتری برخوردارند تا امور ظاهرا مهم .
پرتره های این مجموعه دیده شده و گاه عکاسی شده در خیابان های شهر و اتوبوس ها و متروها و.. است . پرتره هایی که هر روز دیده می شوند و در فضای شهر گم می شوند و دیگر دیده نمی شوند مگر بر حسب اتفاق ..پرتره هایی که به یاد می سپاریم و یا فراموش می کنیم. تصویر یک چهره بر اساس رابطه ی دو سویه همراه با بار عاطفی خاطره و حس تجربه در ذهن بیننده یا مخاطب نقش می بندد. زنان این مجموعه را می توان به یک اجتماع مرتبط با حافظه ها و فراموشی ها که برخی از ان ها پیوند های اطفی و همین طور روایتی دارند تقسیم کرد .پرتره های این مجموعه حرف هایشان را روی صورتشان نوشته اند فقط باید خواندن بلد بود .
و در اخر این مجموعه بیان یک زمزمه ی فردی بود و فریاد زنانی که کمبود خود را باید پیدا کنند تا به دردهایشان پایان بدهند .

No Women’s Eyes Should Be Overlooked
The eye is not as simple as what we see, but something which is complemented with our conceptual perception. For impalpable reasons, we attribute to it values that permeate our thoughts and change our personal constitution. In other words, we could say that the eye is the expression of our feelings and the reservoir of subliminal memories. Culturally, the physical emblem of the eye is palpable in the physical structure of the city. Personal memories change into collective memories of the city, and therefore individuals make a society together. Meanwhile, the thing that helps the addressee is not necessarily “No Women’s Eyes Should Be Overlooked,” but the ability to see fairly. Maybe, one frame of this collection would be enough to teach its addressees to see properly. Women could only be salvaged through their eyes:
“God’s mercy is closer to the eyes than the minds.”
The materials used in this collection are boxes of matches, tea bags and chocolate wrappers. All of them symbolize the changeability of consumerism. Things that seem to be mundane and immaterial are more potential for annihilation in the trend of consumerism than the seemingly substantial ones.
The portraits of this collection have been photographed on city streets, on buses, on subways…; the portraits that are seen every day but finally get lost and won’t be seen again unless accidentally. We keep them in our minds or forget them. A portrait, with all its emotional and experimental loads of memory, is etched in the observer or addressee’s mind on the basis of a mutual interaction. The women of this collection, with all their stories and sentimental bonds, can be divided into communities relevant to memories and oblivion. Their stories are written on their faces, you should only know how to read.
Last but not least, this collection has been the expression of a personal whisper and the shriek of these women who should find their shortcomings to end their pains.

Overview and HistoryTehran is the capital of Iran and the largest city in the Middle East, with a population of fifteen million people living under the peaks of the Alborz mountain range.Although archaeological evidence places human activity around Tehran back into the years 6000BC, the city was not mentioned in any writings until much later, in the thirteenth century. It's a relatively new city by Iranian standards.But Tehran was a well-known village in the ninth century. It grew rapidly when its neighboring city, Rhages, was destroyed by Mongolian raiders. Many people fled to Tehran.In the seventeenth century Tehran became home to the rulers of the Safavid Dynasty. This is the period when the wall around the city was first constructed. Tehran became the capital of Iran in 1795 and amazingly fast growth followed over the next two hundred years.The recent history of Tehran saw construction of apartment complexes and wide avenues in place of the old Persian gardens, to the detriment of the city's cultural history.The city at present is laid out in two general parts. Northern Tehran is more cosmopolitan and expensive, southern Tehran is cheaper and gets the name "downtown."Getting ThereMehrabad airport is the original one which is currently in the process of being replaced by Imam Khomeini International Airport. The new one is farther away from the city but it now receives all the international traffic, so allow an extra hour to get there or back.TransportationTehran driving can be a wild free-for-all like some South American cities, so get ready for shared taxis, confusing bus routes and a brand new shiny metro system to make it all better. To be fair, there is a great highway system here.The metro has four lines, tickets cost 2000IR, and they have segregated cars. The women-only carriages are the last two at the end, FYI.Taxis come in two flavors, shared and private. Private taxis are more expensive but easier to manage for the visiting traveler. Tehran has a mean rush hour starting at seven AM and lasting until 8PM in its evening version. Solution? Motorcycle taxis! They cut through the traffic and any spare nerves you might have left.People and CultureMore than sixty percent of Tehranis were born outside of the city, making it as ethnically and linguistically diverse as the country itself. Tehran is the most secular and liberal city in Iran and as such it attracts students from all over the country.Things to do, RecommendationsTake the metro to the Tehran Bazaar at the stop "Panzda Gordad". There you can find anything and everything -- shoes, clothes, food, gold, machines and more. Just for the sight of it alone you should take a trip there.If you like being outside, go to Darband and drink tea in a traditional setting. Tehranis love a good picnic and there are plenty of parks to enjoy. Try Mellat park on a friday (fridays are public holidays), or maybe Park Daneshjou, Saaii or Jamshidieh.Remember to go upstairs and have a look around, always always always! The Azadi Tower should fit the bill; it was constructed to commemorate the 2500th anniversary of the Persian Empire.Tehran is also full of museums such as:the Contemporary Art Museumthe Abghine Musuem (glass works)the 19th century Golestan Royal Palace museumthe museum of carpets (!!!)Reza Abbasi Museum of extraordinary miniaturesand most stunning of all,the Crown Jewels Museum which holds the largest pink diamond in the world and many other jaw-dropping jewels.Text by Steve Smith.
