Maryam Ashkanian - Pillows Portraits

[Brigitte Martin]

"I am really interested in sleeping people and I want to explore what they see in their dreams. I also believe they are in a different land or a different life. For me, when I start to sleep I really find myself in the middle of nowhere; in my utopia. I change into another person, or my real character, without a mask." Maryam Ashkanian
