Profile

Born 1978 in Teheran, Iran. "People" are the main subject in most of her works. The displacement, confusion and feeling lost in today's life and conversely the precious existence, esteem and worthiness of human life are two aspects that she follows. She tries to communicate this contrast to viewers and provoke empathy.

Comment

People are the main subject in most of her work. The displacement, confusion and feeling lost in today's life and conversely the precious existence, esteem and worthiness of human life are two aspects that I follow. I try to communicate this contrast to the viewer and provoke empathy. The blue packages which are dispersed in the city represent homelessness. These tightly woven parcels contain the loneliness of humans. Homeless may personify people living in streets, but in my mind homelessness can apply to people who have been uprooted from their social or cultural identity. These are the ones who have lost their link with the society and the world.
