A Silent, Aching dance Beneath the Rain – Three Moments in Mazandaran

A visual journey of a boy beneath the rain in the forests of Mazandaran, Iran – from stillness to surrender, and finally, boy joy. Three portraits of emotion and connection with nature, captured under the gray sky and towering trees.

in the heart of Mazandaran’s ancient forest, beneath a sky soaked with clouds, a boy becomes one with the rain.

in the first frame, he stands still, hands over his face, surrounded by darkened trees towering silently around him. The mood is contemplative – his feelings unreadable, his presence like a question.

The second frame moves with life. his arms reach skyward in a spinning gesture, a whirling motion reminiscent of the Sufi saga. it’s as though something within him has awakened – a trust, a surrender. and then, the final frame: his face emerges, smiling. his

meets the rain with open arms and a peaceful gaze, letting it fall freely across his skin. There is no longer any doubt – only acceptance and joy.

This series captures not just a person in nature, but a human experience that transcends language. in iran, we sometimes find clarity.
