I n Tabriz, beneath the hustle and bustle of one of the biggest cities in Iran, Farhad Khodayari sits behind a computer, creating images of a man on the outside looking in. As he plays with the lighting in his image, he remembers his younger self—confused and made crazy by his unusual visions and unrealistic way of regarding the world. He smiles at this memory, having since come to fully know himself and realize that his visions are gifts. “My art is all about dreaming—visions and feelings. I love to show my capacity for telling stories within the images; I have many stories behind my images, some told and some left to interpretation, and I love to share all of them with the world,” reveals Khodayari.
