About me

Hi,

I’m Yalda. I’m so glad you found me here. I believe we were meant to meet. Maybe I have a message for you, and maybe I don’t.

Here, I write about the deepest human feelings I experience as I move through my days. But also about the unbearable dullness of the societies we’ve created and the unparalleled beauty that coexists with it, the kind that can drown you in awe. About our capacity to love and hate at the same time. About our resilience and our desire to break down and cry.

Here, everything is chaotic and orderly at once.

I’m trying to find my way in a world full of paradox. Maybe my attempt to figure things out along the way might help others on their journeys too. The only thing I already know is this: the place we long to arrive at, where life no longer requires thinking, changing, or growing, is an illusion. Let’s not run after illusions.

When I can’t find ways to express myself with words, I turn to colors and shapes, creating portraits. I like to co-create a shared language with you, beyond words and sounds. And if what I express helps you feel a little better, a little lighter, even for a moment, then I’m happy with the work I’m doing here.

Thank you for staying with me until here. I hope you stay longer.

Love,
Yalda
