An intimate entrée into an Iranian woman’s private world. Here the renowned actress Shohreh Aghdashloo, who like Neshat is from Iran, appears in a moment of solitude before a radio. In the film, she captivatingly sings a love poem by Rumi in the film, and this photograph is no less poignant, as she is captured within the beautiful and dramatic light that filters into her bare room.
