Iranian-American artist Sheida Soleimani stages intricate tableaus with live animals, props, and even her own parents to explore migration, exile, and environmental crisis. The photographs weave her family history with images of injured birds, drawing from her work as a wildlife rehabilitator to create something deeply personal and politically resonant.
