____________________________________________________________________________

Art is my key to understanding the current underlying my identity and the world through fragments, abstraction, and repetition. In doing so, I derive much of my inspiration from my own life.

As an Iranian growing up in post-1979 Tehran, I have experienced separation, uprooting, and longing in its different manifestations. In my art I am compelled to decode the ways in which these events have marked me through poetry, craft, and the body.

I work in different mediums and my process at times involves deconstructing and reconstructing an image or object through folding, mixing and material manipulation. Some of my inspiration stems from Persian poetry and biographical text investigating a landscape of longing, and displacement. In doing so, I am very interested in exploring the language of the material I use. As such, in the photographic based works the photo paper is made tactile through repetitive cutting, weaving and sewing. This craft-intense way of making mimics digital processes at times, creating juxtaposition in exploring new distortions and blurring the lines between design, craft and fine art.
