Earth in Mind

One of my earliest surreal collages, created by blending real images and graphics in Ps, was inspired by a documentary about planet Earth. The initial idea was to replace the human brain, the body's most vital organ, with the planet itself, preserving the quiet elegance of portraiture. As the design evolved, I embedded the map of the Middle East, with Iran at its core. Living in a region defined by thousands of years of continuous storms, conflicts over faith, land, and resources, made me realize that external chaos deeply shapes the inner mind. The storm outside is not just weather; it becomes a personal, mental tempest. Creating this was a technical breakthrough for me, pushing my Photoshop skills into a new dimension. What began as a conceptual experiment turned into a reflection of identity, resilience, and the stormy geographic reality we carry inside our heads. This piece, with a slightly different edit, was exclusively shared on my Instagram page.
