 This work grew out of my daily difficulties in reading and  understanding the German language. When I used Google Translate to  translate texts, I noticed that the camera's scanner is sensitive to  light and movement. So when I change the exposure or move my phone,  the German letters change into Persian and start to move and change  shape. So I took a screenshot and then photographed it with an analog  camera. In the end, I scanned the negatives and printed my image using  the flat-printing technique. For me, this work is like a look behind the  facade of my everyday challenges. It shows the process of reading and  understanding. When I read in another language, it often happens that I  lose the connection to my surroundings. Although I am physically  anchored in the here and now, I am often mentally distant, like the  floating Persian letters on my screen.
