Architecture nominee

I live in a city where human-made structures rise like trees.
Steel, concrete, and glass have grown from the ground in overwhelming volume, forms that once felt cold and emotionless to me.

Yet within this forest of towers, I began to discover angles.
Fragments of light.
Compositions that carried feeling.

I photographed those moments
And what you see here is the result.

Hi, I’m Sepand
photographer and filmmaker, born in Iran and currently based in the United Arab Emirates. My passion for photography began in my teenage years and gradually turned into something essential in my life. Photography became a language for me to tell stories.
