My work explores themes of identity, cultural heritage, and our connection to the natural world. As an artist born in Iran and now living in Edmonton, I draw from both cultures, creating pieces that reflect my journey between these two worlds. This blend of influences is central to my practice, allowing me to explore how cultures intertwine, influence, and shape one another.

A key focus of my work is the representation of natural landscapes and Persian carpets, both of which symbolize tradition, craftsmanship, and the passage of time. Persian carpets hold a deep significance, not only as works of art but as vessels for stories and histories that are often left untold. I am particularly moved by the untold stories of the women who wove these intricate carpets—women whose labour and creativity have remained largely unrecognized. Through my paintings, sculptures, and digital works, I aim to honour their artistry, giving voice to their contributions and shedding light on the cultural legacies they helped preserve.

Incorporating materials such as wood, clay, and mud sourced from the Canadian landscape and my Persian heritage, along with resource photographs, speaks to the deep connection we have to the land, reminding us of our roots and how they shape who we are and evoke the intersection of personal history and collective experience.

Through my work, I hope to inspire conversations about multiculturalism, resilience, and the shared human experience. I invite viewers to reflect on how cultural traditions, both old and new, shape our sense of identity, belonging, and connection to the world around us. My art serves as a reminder that our identities are not static but are constantly evolving and adapting, influenced by the places we come from and the places we now call home.
