“I have experienced a very difficult marital relationship and after divorce a period of homelessness,” says this artist, who asks to be credited only by her initials. “Now I strive to improve and develop my personal creative skills. Photography and art helps me to understand and depict London. Originally I came here from Iran as a political refugee.”
