Iran is one of the most earthquake-prone countries in the world, and earthquakes threaten most regions across Iran. More than 80% of cities in Iran are under the threat of earthquake. Iran also stands high on the list of countries with the most number of earthquake victims. On the Sunday night of Oct. 12, 2017, a powerful 7.3 magnitude earthquake hit Ezgeleh City in Kermanshah Province near the Iranian-Iraqi border. 569 were killed, nearly 10 thousand were injured, and more than 30 thousand houses were destroyed in Ezgeleh, Sarpol-e Zahab, Salas-e Babajani, and Ghasreshirin cities, and the nearby villages. The earthquake spawned nearly 1557 aftershocks. It occurred at a depth of 11 km from Ezgeleh, and was felt throughout Northwest Iran due to its shallow depth and long duration. This earthquake was the most destructive earthquake of 2017 worldwide, and was felt in southeast of Turkey, Lebanon, Qatar, Israel, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and north of Saudi Arabia. When the earth begins to shake, the walls crack, they can be heard collapsing, and things are heard falling. In a matter of seconds, hundreds of homes are ruthlessly destroyed, and a huge cloud of dust covers everything. In those quick yet horrific moments, an inexplicable fear grips the people, many are injured, and many dead. Families lose their loved-ones and face the biggest challenge of their lives: homelessness. Losing one's home and shelter can cause serious mental health problems, filling the victims with rage and fear. Hopelessness becomes an inseparable part of the daily life, and it is difficult for people to accept this shock, to move on from the earthquake's destructive effects, in order to fight the unexpected problems. Gradually and strangely, however, the survivors get on with their lives and begin to rebuild their surroundings, creating a shelter for themselves and the rest of their families using the debris. The goal I pursue through this project is to depict the lives of people in the city of Ezgeleh in Kermanshah Province, who have experienced a 7.3 magnitude earthquake. I lived with the survivors for 20 days in order to better understand their dire living conditions after the earthquake. Those who have lost one or all of their family members in a matter of seconds, and, on top of that, no longer have a place to live. I wanted to capture the people's feelings, their sadness, happiness, hopes and fears in the face of this unpredictable disaster, to illustrate the flow of life that continued uninterrupted after the earthquake despite all odds. The people that began to rebuild their new life at such hard times and with little means; people that despite all the injuries and damages move toward their aspirations hoping to build a new life.

The mass migration of Rohingya Refugees began on August 25, 2017 as the Myanmar military started a task against the Myanmar military.The state military assaulted many police posts in Rakhine state. The striking back from Myanmar's specialists was speedy and heartless. Myanmar has been represented killing over 6,700 Rohingya and pushing more than 600,000 to Bangladesh. Almost all of them have sought refuge in Bangladesh while mostly have been injured by gunshots, shrapnel, fire, and landmines. Majority of these people seeking refuge are women and children. Rohingyas are an ethnic minority gathering and they have not been thought to be one of the nation's 135 authority ethnic gatherings and have been denied citizenship in Myanmar since 1982 Under the law, which has viably rendered them stateless. Because of the law, their rights to contemplate, work, travel, wed, rehearse their religion and access wellbeing administrations have been and keep on being limited. The Rohingya have confronted military crackdowns in 1978 to 2017. UN authorities and HRW have depicted Myanmar's abuse of the Rohingya as ethnic cleansing. The crisis is yet to be over since the first world leading countries and the United Nations has not yet been able to have come to a proper re-settlement agreement with Myanmar regarding this issue Thousands of people have been killed in this horrible event in history as people witnessed their beloved ones and their homes being burnt to ashes as they fled with the only thing they were left with, their lives. Presently in excess of 800000 Rohingya Refugees living in both enrolled and unregistered displaced person camps of Cox's Bazar area of Bangladesh, Bangladesh Government, Local and International Aid organizations are attempting to give nourishment, water, and safe house for the inundation immense evacuees Camps. The event of this aggression over Rohingya people goes beyond the depth of human vocabulary as even perish would be an understatement, therefore, it would definitely go down as one of the most violent acts of aggression in human history. However, the reason behind it would either vanquish or stay a mystery. Rohingya crisis by definition is an ethnic one. In order to sustain, Rohingya crisis requires being solved as a humanitarian crisis.

According to global statistics, one percent of the world’s population consists of twins and multiples. Based on the statistics from Iran National Organization for Civil Registration, the multiple births in Iran have been up to three percent of births since 2011. In spite of their low percentage, multiples have had a profound impact throughout history. Sometimes they have been worshiped as gods, sometimes as charmers. Twins have marked their footsteps in myths, and accordingly, there are a lot of resemblances in various cultures; such as Castor and Pollux who were known as “the heavenly twins” and are often associated with Gemini; Romulus and Remus, Jacob and Esau, Horus and Seth, etc. When I faced identical twins, I was mesmerized by their matching outfits, similar make-up and hairstyles and body language; I was astonished by the fact that they finished each other’s sentences or uttered words with the same tone together; they even smiled or had a think at the same time, sometimes had similar dreams, similar exam results, and they had identical tastes… and these similar behaviors were strange and astounding, yet so ordinary and innate according to themselves. The question that led to the idea of this photo collection in my mind was that, is their identity “one” that has been repeated twice, or do they have their own independent existence, despite being double? Are they a manifestation of beauty which has been duplicated? Is their nature a line between reality and fantasy? It’s all as if they touch the flowing forgotten feelings and waken something deep within us, which originates in the depth of obscure ancient rituals and cultures.
