Shokoufeh Abdi was a 40-year-old professional photographer and a dedicated mother of two daughters, aged 16 and 11. Originally from Shazand and residing in Arak, she worked at the Lotus Photography Studio. She was known for her belief that photographs serve as the narrators of history by capturing fleeting moments, a philosophy that defined her artistic life before she became a part of Iran's historical struggle for freedom. On January 9, 2026, during nationwide protests, Shokoufeh was on Janet Street in Arak when she was killed by direct fire from security forces. Her death turned the lens of history toward her own sacrifice, leaving her family and the community of Arak to mourn a woman who sought to document the world around her but was silenced by violence. She is remembered as a woman of light and art whose life was cut short while standing for her convictions. Her legacy remains with her two daughters and through the poignant narrative of her final moments on the streets of her city.
شکوفه عبدی، عکاس ۴۰ ساله اهل شازند و ساکن اراک، هنرمندی بود که در آتلیه عکاسی لوتوس فعالیت میکرد. او مادر دو دختر ۱۶ و ۱۱ ساله بود و اعتقاد داشت که «عکسها با ثبت یک لحظه راوی تاریخ میشوند.» زندگی او که وقف هنر و خانوادهاش بود، در جریان جنبشهای آزادیخواهانه به روایتی سرخ از تاریخ معاصر ایران پیوند خورد. در تاریخ ۱۹ دی ۱۴۰۴، همزمان با اعتراضات سراسری، شکوفه در خیابان جنت اراک بر اثر شلیک مستقیم نیروهای امنیتی جاویدنام شد. او که با نگاه هنری خود به دنبال ثبت حقیقت بود، خود به یکی از چهرههای ماندگار تاریخ اراک تبدیل شد که در راه آزادی جان سپرد. یاد او به عنوان زنی که میان دغدغههای مادری و حرفه عکاسی، حضور در خیابان را برگزید، در حافظه جمعی مردم ایران باقی خواهد ماند. اکنون دختران او و جامعه هنری اراک، راوی قصه زنی هستند که آخرین لحظات زندگیاش، تلخترین تصویر در آلبوم مبارزات مردم شهرش گشت.
