Photography by Jan Ariaans
With these works I refer to the landscape of my youth that has changed completely. Aghjalar has been destroyed in 1988 and rebuilt after the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003, so that the place of my youth does not exist any more. In these I show the process of my research as well as my memories of several moments and places in my place of birth Aghjalar.
