Soroosh Shahrivar
“Khuzestan is one of Iran’s thirty-one provinces. A province riddled with bullet holes and cuneiform scripts.”
Soroosh Shahrivar, Tajrish

Soroosh Shahrivar
“The timepiece had been a birthday gift from Arian, his nineteen-year-old cousin in Tehran. It was plastered with pastoral steel and had the Faravahar hieroglyph sketched on it. This ancient pictogram was the symbol of a guardian angel. A remnant of a primeval daemon designed to protect the Persians. The clock’s circumference was decorated with the flowers of life and in the middle there was a scripture written in cuneiform that read Good Deeds, Good Thoughts & Good Words.”
Soroosh Shahrivar, The Rise of Shams
