My practice is intrinsically linked to my life experiences, yet opens a space to recast memories and process paradoxes of my childhood in Tehran, while also grounding my perspective as an Iranian now living in the US. I see my work as a vehicle for shifting power, validating personal storytelling, and connecting to universal messages about human rights.”
