Several years ago, a friend of mine met the Iranian photographer of Magnum Agency, the late Abbas Attar, my favourite photographer. I asked my friend to ask him: "How come you have photographed all the world's major religions but not Zoroastrianism, our ancient Iranian religion?" He replied that they are protective towards their religion, and it is difficult to access their communities. At that time, I had already started a project in 2010 using my analog camera, Nikon F100, for a subjective narration of Iran's pre-Islamic religion, Zoroastrianism. The black-and-white photos for the project were inspired by the dualistic theology of Zoroastrianism based on the battle of light and darkness. Inspired by one of Abbas's long-term photo projects, "Children of Abraham, I named the project "Children of Mazda". However, due to constant obstacles, I could not continue the project and paused it at its early stage. I look forward to restarting the project if the future allows.
