Pedram Yazdani wins the Forestry Commission England people, nature and economy Award 2016 for his arresting work “Sand”. “The Salt Lake Urmia could be a symbol of what will happen soon to Iran – it is going to be dried out”, explains Yazdani. “The biggest salt lake in the Middle East, it now contains only 10% of the original amount of water, as a result both of climate change, and of dam and well construction”.
