Environmental Visual Research Project

– 2022–Ongoing

Last Breath is a long-term artistic and research-based project initiated in 2022, exploring the ecological crisis of disappearing water systems, with a particular focus on the Urmia Lake basin. Rather than functioning as conventional graphic design, the project operates as an expanded visual investigation into environmental collapse, memory, and human intervention in natural systems. The work is grounded in extensive research into degraded ecosystems caused by direct human interventions—including dam construction, water diversion, and excessive groundwater extraction. These investigations form the conceptual foundation for a series of layered visual compositions that combine text, imagery, and texture to document processes of environmental transformation over time.

The project is structured through sequential narratives and triptychs, where water systems are presented as a temporal progression, visually mapping the disappearance of ecological memory. Last Breath approaches the poster as an autonomous visual medium situated between documentation, ecological testimony, and contemporary art practices, seeking to engage international audiences with the fragile relationship between humanity and the natural world.
