"Beyond the Autumn" «Persian: پس از خزان» is a poetic meditation on the collapse that humanity calls "the end." Here, autumn is not a season of falling leaves, but a threshold where existence sheds its veil within the shadows. Beyond this descent, perhaps only a light of serenity remains. It whispers that following the world's silence, a subtler form of consciousness may emerge. "At the farthest edge of the soil, eyes open that no longer belong to the ground."
