Reincarnation

2021
Reincarnation, Nazli Abbaspour

The butterfly is a symbol of metamorphosis, renewal and rebirth, as well as of purity and clarity. This series grows out of my personal belief in reincarnation, an idea that has long been the subject of philosophical debate. Working with old photographs, I see it as a journey of self-discovery: a way of exploring how much my present life resembles, or springs from, the past. Like the cocoon from which the butterfly emerges, death becomes for me not an end but a passage toward another life.
