Iman Taheri, healer, multitool creative, and occasional filmic magician, decided to crack open his ribcage and release a stitched-together confessional called “Lost In Your Eyes.” It’s poetry, technically. But don’t expect stuffy sonnets or brooding haikus. This is a passport of the psyche, a soft-spoken manifesto masquerading as verse, woven from recovery spells and midnight reckonings.
The book’s drop isn’t just a solo act, either. Actress-slash-producer Josie Ho, who first met Iman under rather cinematic circumstances—picture emergency surgery, existential gratitude, future collaboration—has thrown her full weight behind the collection. It’s their creative chemistry, equal parts serendipity and slow burn, that now fuels multiple projects under the 852 Films banner, including Iman’s appearances in The Mage 2 and an upcoming action-comedy that promises to be neither tame nor typical.
Written across several life epochs—pre-med classrooms in Iran, field hospitals where triage meets philosophy, and now, glittering film sets—“Lost In Your Eyes” reads less like “here’s my pain” and more like “here’s how I made something useful out of it.” It’s equal parts self-inquiry and emotional breadcrumb trail, with just enough mystery to leave your third eye twitching.
To elevate things beyond mere print, legendary image conjurer Sam Wong shoots Iman like a myth cracked open—stoic, spectral, and rendered through a lens that whispers “Persian classicism meets postmodern monk.” The collection feels less like a coffee table book and more like something you hold close on rainy evenings.
He drops wisdom like breadcrumbs. “Potential is a sacred promise,” he writes, which sounds like something embroidered on a silk scarf… Speaking of, the first 100 editions come with exactly that, a bespoke wrap that mirrors the book’s gentle swagger.
If you’re the kind who reads poetry in airplanes, thinks silence can be stylish, or finds comfort in prose that whispers rather than shouts, “Lost In Your Eyes” is quietly waiting for you.
