"The colors' silence whisper

The wool' s palpitation of blood through the knot´vessels

And the fingers' sweet souls which are trampled"

- from Ahmad Shamlu´s "To the Scarlet Blossom of a Dress"

The Knot series (2011) by Jalal Sepehr (جلال سپهر) is comprised of 13 images taken in the historic city of Yazd. In this series, Sepehr has striven to depict a place in his pictures in between traditional and everyday life.
