ANONYMOUS WITNESS
Golden Kite collection, two parts (2021-2022; 2022-2023)
Golden Kite collection is a set of digitally created images which illustrates events of the past two years in Afghanistan in two chapters (August to August 2021- 2022; August to August 2022-2023). These images and words stress the damage caused and the resulting crisis by reflecting the social and cultural life of the people, as well as the economy and politics of Afghanistan from the perspective of an Afghan, here named “Anonymous Witness”.
"Anonymous Witness" notes that, after twenty years of effort by the international community and billions of dollars of investment, Afghanistan descended into crisis overnight and now is forgotten. Ordinary citizens have been the primary victims of the crisis. They are striving for an unknown future and have been taken hostage as fuel for political parties.
Indifference to the current situation will, step by step, lead to a deeper crisis in Afghanistan. History has shown that an Afghanistan in crisis impacts the world.

COLLECTION - Chapter 2, March 2022- August 2023
ASHNA (Acquaintance)
(Mar - Aug 2023)
To mark the two years since the arrival of the de facto government of the people of Afghanistan, this collection shows the commotion, the noise and the daily realities of this forgotten society, the realities that have a deceptive appearance from afar, or remain hidden due to politics. The collection debates the misguided methods of the rulers of Afghanistan which have affected the lives and resources of millions and negatively impact the future of our country. On the surface, this collection shows silence, fear, isolation, liberation and poverty, but on the inside it has a message of hope. This collection is based on a poem with each line associated with an image. Both the poem and the collection created by "Anonymous Witness".
