Serendipity
    سرندیپیتی


                        (2016)

In these images of Mexico City I tried to capture my immediate impressions of the urban milieu, thereby avoiding iconic or stereotypical representations of the people and place. In addition to my main intention of capturing a vibrant urban landscape, I wanted to document a form of subversive self-narrative by the subjects of these images. The term Serendipity refers to an ancient Persian fairy tale, The Three Princesses of Serendip, in which the heroes repeatedly make serendipitous discoveries through chance and cleverness.
