Tar

IRAN 2025 5' M/12 stop-motion, cabelo

‘Tar’ is an experimental animation crafted with real strands of hair. In Persian, the word _tar _carries a dual meaning: both a strand of hair and a traditional Iranian string instrument. Within this symbolic interplay, an enraged centipede storms a young girl’s inner world, shattering musical instruments. Amid the chaos and dissonance, the delicate sound of the tar emerges, opening a fragile space for transformation.
