Each small picce of the Big picture, is a lasting presence in the memory of tiross present at the moment ine photo is taken. Thus, small piciures siting side by side, The Big picture tells us: We are Much Much more Alike than We can imagine. Allegory by Nastaran Fotouhi is a collection of photos selected from "The others'" family albums depicting the sea, forests and snow. The photos which each represent a unique concept and memory to the person that took them when put together 'fade into a background of commonality' creating a unified form. 'Each photograph is only a part of the thing/concept, but it is the whole that is the closest to the thing/concept itself. And in this way, it captures the essence of it.'
