After my migration to the US, I became interested in the time difference between Tehran and San Francisco. Tehran is twelve hours and thirty minutes into the future and San Francisco is twelve hours and thirty minutes into Tehran’s past. I started to get a sense of the compression of time-space by using technologies as a tool that allows me to connect to my home country live.
