Solo Art show

 

While attempting to complete a photography assignment for school, I was issued two misdemeanors ticket for taking a photo of 

the interior of the Long Beach veteran’s hospital.

Being from Iran and having two federal cases make it impossible for me to get 

my residency in the U.S. So after hiring a lawyer, and going through a lot of paperwork and anguish for few months, the court dismissed the case based on racial profiling.

The wallpaper is all the work that i went through to dismiss the case. The framed picture with two politicians and the U.S flag (painted by Jasper Johns) is the actual picture that I took. The blew up citations are also framed and included. The video is projected on the front wall conveying my feeling while going through this hassle.

This project is a critique of social, political and educational system in this specific time and place.
