Iranian-American photojournalist Maryam Rahmanian has taken portraits of everyday citizens in Tehran, showing how the war affected their lives. Rahmanian, who works in Tehran with permission from the government, asked about the impact of the war on their daily lives. He found that some people had to stay working, some stayed home, and others were focused on protecting loved ones. The stress and anxiety surrounding the war has left a heavy toll on Rahmanian's mental health. The destruction and loss of war reminds Akram how it was during the Iran-Iraq War.
