Aria Shahrokhshahi: Wet Ground is a long-term photographic body of work developed through repeated stays living and volunteering in Ukraine since 2019 — made from inside the war rather than in response to it. Rejecting spectacle in favor of proximity, Shahrokhshahi focuses on the rhythms, contradictions, and fragile continuities of daily life shaped by prolonged violence and uncertainty. Published by Loose Joints and presented at Rectangle Room, the work reflects a practice concerned with social structures and the human experience, approaching community from within rather than at a distance.
