Si-o-se-pol bridge spanning the Zayandeh Rud in Isfahan.

Si-o-se-pol, Isfahan - a durable bridge between two sides.

Si-o-se-pol connects two sides of Isfahan across the Zayandeh Rud through a structure that has endured for centuries. The bridge is used here as a simple civic metaphor: convergence does not erase the two sides. It creates a durable way for them to meet, cross, exchange and remain connected despite difference.
