Survival

The video installation Survival explores the persistence of fear and the limitations imposed on the human mind. Inspired by Stockholm Syndrome, the work demonstrates that even after external threats are removed, the mind can remain trapped in captivity, unable to fully experience true freedom.

The piece reflects on the concept of survival—not only as a biological phenomenon, but as a psychological state in which internalized fear guides human behavior.

The meaning of the word survival in the Dehkhoda Dictionary: life and living; remaining in the world; continuing to exist; enduring.
