In januari 2019 was ik artist-in-residence in de Aria Residency in Teheran, Iran. Tijdens mijn verblijf in de Aria Residency maakte ik vijf doeken met fluwelen replica's van foto's die ik in de straten van Teheran heb gemaakt; zie de pagina over Iraans fluweel op deze website voor meer informatie over dat project.

Back home in The Netherlands, I continued to collaborate with Iranian female artists and women who I’ve met during my stay in Tehran. This globe is a summary of most of the women I’ve photographed when I was in Teheran. I turned them into velvet. On one spot on the globe, the utility box on Enghelab Street is visible.
