"Queer, Life, Freedom" is a deeply personal and politically charged exploration of identity, exile, and survival. Inspired by the artist’s own experiences, the exhibition is divided into three spaces—representing Iran, Turkey, and Germany—each reflecting a different phase of the journey from persecution to survival.

This series reflects the emotional and physical journey of a queer individual forced to flee from Iran to Turkey and eventually to Germany in search of safety and acceptance. Through photos, the project captures the raw vulnerability and quiet strength of navigating displacement and reclaiming identity.

Queer, Life, Freedom is not just a reflection on exile—it is an act of defiance and survival. It challenges the audience to confront the cost of rejection and to imagine a future where acceptance and belonging are universal rights.
