“Art, for me, is not learned nor acquired; it comes from within—a manifestation of our thoughts, emotions, and lived experiences. Whether it’s pain, happiness, suffering, love, joy, or any other facet of human existence, my art language is love. I believe that we’re all interconnected, and through art, we can spread love both between us and within us, bringing us closer and uniting us.
Telling stories that, from my perception, are worth telling is what I love to do. Through my lens, creating films becomes a way to document, archive, and communicate our existence. It allows me to capture the essence of life, portraying the beauty and complexity of human experience in a way that resonates deeply with others.” MARIA GHAFARI
