Description

Gohar Dashti’s Stateless series comprises eight metaphorical tableaux that evoke the purgatory experienced by refugees throughout the world today. “Hoping for a better life,” writes Dashti, “they struggle in a never-ending limbo. . . . The sky becomes the ceiling and the mountains become the walls of their new homes, because Nature is the only place that promises shelter, an eternal and everlasting refuge.”
A tan rectangular box features a fine woven texture and centered gold serif lettering. Arranged in four horizontal lines, the title 'STATELESS 2014–2015' is positioned above the credit 'PHOTOGRAPHS BY GOHAR DASHTI.' The matte cover has sharp edges and a uniform surface, casting a soft shadow on the neutral gray background. A thin bottom edge reveals the depth of the portfolio container.
