Black Thoughts from the series I Cant Stop Thinking processes the recurring anxiety that night's darkness produces. When the horrible thoughts about losing everything and everyone you hold dear enters your mind and creeps into your nightmares. Aida Chehrehgosha methodically and elaborately recreates these thoughts in an attempt to liberate them from her mind. In I Can’t Stop Thinking is the recurring visit of darkness that is perpetuated and viewed with distance. The images are cinematic and recalls a scene from a movie. The images tell one story when they are separate but another one when you see them together.

Aida has dealt with themes as childhood trauma, family, mental illness, OCD, obsessions and nightmares in an ongoing project that has spun over 20 years. Often involving her own family and parents in her images. Always with a painstakingly honest and personal approach to her art.
