Koohyar – The Spirit is a music video I made for Koohyar’s song The Spirit.
It is composed of his music and analog photographs from our life together — fragments of a time that still feels present.
Koohyar died in 2023.
This film became my way of remembering, of holding closeness, and of carrying a life forward — through sound, through image, through what remains.
Koohyar —
a musician, poet, artist, writer, lover.
A most beautiful soul.
Deeply loved. Deeply missed.
These recordings come directly from Koohyar’s personal archive and are shared here as part of the Love Is the Essence project while the restoration continues.
What you hear is his voice, his music and his heart — preserved exactly as they have remained over the years.
My favorite piece within a favorite piece.
