These images belong to Caspian Hyrcanian mixed forests located in the north of Iran. On 5 July 2019, the Hyrcanian Forests were inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. During last year, 
I went deep into these jungles once or twice per week and took shots.
Precisely last year, I decided to leave my job along with the whole things I got barely from mechanized life and capitalism system in Tehran and move to a small village in the north of Iran for 
experiencing a new and adventuresome lifestyle.​​​​​​​
Since I was involved in such activities, there was an empty space in my head
 that I had filled unconsciously with complexity. 
I could make a deep relationship with the nature that I have never had before
Seeing and experiencing mechanical life, people who are influenced by false advertisements and scramble to earn more money to purchase or sell in anyways was my inspiration.
Deep relevance between human and nature is a forgotten issue. besides all of the beauties and unforgettable scenes that I saw, it had an irreversible effect on my attitudes to life, I felt a kind of sadness with the loneliness that came from the spirit of the forests during the photography. Like a beautiful story but saddening.
