Darkness Within
Sometime we hid and ignore the darkness growing inside of us for too long that it'd eventually start taking over and sink us in.

About Artist
Kiarash Naderi
I am a Fine Art & Street photographer, writer, and filmmaker based in Los Angeles. My work centers around capturing the raw emotions of people around me, observing and connecting with the subtlest of feelings. It is fascinating how even the smallest actions, like someone picking up a pen at a lone café on a rainy day, can evoke powerful emotions. In each movement and gesture, there lies a profound meaning waiting to be understood. I believe that by simply paying a little more attention to one another, we can gain profound insights into the human experience. Upon returning home and reflecting on the ideas I have written down, I realize that I, too, am present in those moments at the cafe. My art is an exploration of my own emotions, which I discover and express through the experiences of others. I find a profound connection with individuals, and through them, I unearth a deeper understanding of myself. Through my photography, writing, and filmmaking, I seek to create a bridge of empathy between the viewer and my subjects. I want my audience to embrace the darkness they live with and try to gain control over it, by knowing that they are not alone.
