This picture is part of the series ‘Shafagh’. In the fall of 2019, Klaartje was accompanied by two dancers, Masoumeh and Alireza, from Tehran to the desert areas of Dasht-e Lut and Busher, in southern Iran. The series portrays a wonderful image of dance and movement in Iran, and a metaphor for contemporary Iranian society, in which the same kind of tension is constantly tangible. The fabrics limit the dancers. At the same time, they offer protection to the outside observer.

Klaartje Lambrechts is a multidisciplinary photographer based in Antwerp, Belgium.

Her work is a delicate dance between purity and vulnerability. Through her lens, she invites viewers to explore the intricate interplay of emotions, unveiling the beauty that resides in the hidden depths of her subjects.
