About
I have always lived with uncertainty. Born into a Muslim Iranian family, I questioned the surrounding norms and struggled to find my truth—something solid I could hold on to. That uncertainty followed me into adulthood. Multiple migrations and leaving behind familiar places and people have left lasting marks, and through those marks, I’ve come to better understand my reality.
My art practice has become both a challenging and grounding space. I’ve developed techniques to explore these experiences through a wide range of mediums and forms—from transparent and translucent materials to installations and performances. I build rich, multi-dimensional narratives by layering many transparent fragments, each one a piece of my story. Together, they form the larger picture I need to express.
The subjects I work with range from the places my body has occupied to monumental forms like trees and human figures. Through this process, I examine my story as a mother, a woman, an immigrant, and an Australian living in the diverse community of Jersey City in the New York metropolitan area—carrying with me a sense of belonging and the poetic soul and cultural weight of my Persian heritage.
