projects
Border-less
An ongoing project exploring borders, displacement and spatial division through painting, collage, image transfer and installation.
Ideal-Ego
A practice-based project exploring identity, memory and traces of previous ownership through drawing and interventions in second-hand books. Existing marks, texts and images are retained and layered with personal memories and visual references.
Drawing
A selection of colour and black-and-white drawings, paintings and mixed-media works exploring line, form, surface and the expressive possibilities of different materials.
Book cover design
A selected collection of the book covers I designed.
The I-Eye: The Multi Layered Identity
A practice-based project exploring identity through painting, collage, image transfer, found photographs and processes of layering, fragmentation and reassembly.
Shade of Trees,
A Reflection of My Silence
In this series, I focus on space in particular cities’ landscapes to investigate nature found in cities and the image of a garden. The first idea of these works came from the reflection of trees on water streams that can be seen all over Tehran....
Book illustration
'The Secret' and 'I Am My Brother, I Am Not My Brother' are two of my illustrations projects.
Wings
In this project the half of the images represents landscape of Iran, and images of the brids are all taken in Paris.
My practice moves across painting, drawing, collage, image transfer and mixed media. I am interested in identity, memory, borders and the ways personal and cultural histories become embedded in images, materials and places.
Layering, fragmentation and reassembly recur throughout my work. I use found and personal photographs, transferred images, drawing and painted surfaces to bring different times, experiences and visual references into the same work. In some projects, existing materials such as second-hand books carry traces of previous use and become part of the work’s meaning.
Recent work has extended these concerns towards landscape, borders and spatial experience. Through Border-less, I consider how political and social divisions are inscribed onto space, while continuing to explore how memory, movement and material traces shape our relationship with place.
