Speechless Witness of a Wandering Tree

شاهد گنگ درخت سرگردان

A haunting VR journey into state violence in Iran, told through the eyes and memories of a protester deliberately blinded during a demonstration.

Speechless Witness of a Wandering Tree is a deeply personal and politically resonant VR experience that explores the act of blinding as a historical tool of oppression in Iran. Through an evocative audio archive and temporally immersive storytelling, we follow the fragmented memories of a woman who lost her eye to police bullets during a protest. Her voice guides us through symbolic rituals - drawing an eye on a wall where slogans are erased, burying bullets in the desert - transforming trauma into poetic resistance. By merging intimate testimony with spatial immersion, the piece invites audiences to witness not only what was taken, but what remains: resilience, memory, and the will to see anew.
