Last Month
2012 – Tehran – Iran
In the final month before migration, the tension between staying and leaving binds migrants to their homeland, time and place
It holds them back while simultaneously pushing them forward.
Every small action stirs deep emotions; folding clothes into a suitcase, the echo of footsteps in childhood alleyways, a last walk through familiar streets. A farewell kiss from family does not make leaving easier; rather, it becomes the very weight that makes departure even harder.
