A visual Living archive of resilience, reclamation AND ALCHEMY
Project Khorshid
"Sahar's work is not only visually beautiful, her work makes a connection to what it means to be human. I was always inspired by Sahar's boldness in her approach to craft and her dedication to social engagement is truly unique. Their kindness is boundless and it is a great joy experiencing an artist who is able to connect their aesthetics to their mission statement."

Photography as a practice of resistance- an act of repair
Centering visibility and representation of Black, Indigenous, Middle Eastern, Asian, and all communities of color.
INTENTIONAL photo-sessions
For the soul
To document is to resist forgetting.
To resist forgetting is to choose
our free will — in how we are represented,
in how we participate
in the creation of the stories we live in,
and in how we share them openly,
playing big in our expression.
Project Khorshid is a proposal for peace.
A Love Letter to Mother Earth.
In the face of global assaults on dignity, truth, identity, and belonging, Project Khorshid extends its lifelong devotion outward—an invitation to document identities that rise in their free will as a radical act of resistance, reclamation, and witnessing. It is an archive of human stories, expressions, and diverse body language.
What is on the other side of persecution, erasure, and silence?
Our essence—simply taking space.
Project Khorshid celebrates the spirit of knowing one’s worth, one’s truth, one’s golden essence. It honors the collective devotion to advocating for “all standing around one fire.”
Through intentional spaces of attention and presence—by uplifting the need to speak, to share what we stand for and where we come from—we awaken an ancient memory:
Pride in our many roots.
The knowing that we each carry the mixed lineage of our ancestors in the tree of life that brought us here.
And from this place, the story continues.
