The Heads

On September 12, 2020, the news of Navid Afkari’s execution, an innocent athlete, sent a wave of grief and horror across Iran. The morning call to prayer, once a signal of renewal, transformed into a haunting reminder of injustice, turning each new day into an endless nightmare. The echo of that day still lingers, entwining the dawn with the cries of a nation unable to forget.

This installation seeks to capture the visceral shock and perpetual sorrow experienced by those who were impacted by this tragedy. Throughout the space, heads are suspended, each frozen in a moment of anguish or despair, reflecting the eternal suffering of lives interrupted and stories unfinished. The heads, disembodied and isolated, with closed eyes, as if silently questioning, “Did you hear it too? Who is next?”
