Yakhchal

Piece description from the artist

The Dome of the twenty-four-century old Yakhchal or "cooler" (ice pit) holds intriguing patterns of hundreds of mud layers. This structure in Meybod, central Iran, was used to store ice naturally frozen in cold desert nights in winter for use all year long. This uniquely designed structure had a small opening at the top to ventilate and allow cool air to sink and keep ice cold year round in a very hot region.

If the pen is mightier than the sword and a picture is worth a thousand words, then let peace and unity reign through pictures and arts! – Payam Nashery

Payam’s Educational background is in Aviation, Engineering and Management. While he has taken collage level classes as well as specialty courses focusing on photography and art, he continues to learn and expand his horizons through self-education in photography … the journey continues.

Payam has lived on three different continents prior to his 28th birthday and considers that exposure to different cultures and people as a type of education one can’t get at any university. He believes while importance of education in Math and Sciences are well emphasized in today’s world, it is through the Arts and cultures that people of different background can come together and open doors to peace and understanding. He hopes his photography can bring people closer to nature and each other and serves the purpose of oneness of mankind.

Love of outdoors, nature, hiking and travel has produced great opportunities for photography while his training as a pilot and joy of flying has created a unique perspective and great views from the air! Love of nature compels him to capture it as pure as he can and he believes the best his art can achieve is to raise awareness of natural and environmental preservation.
