AS AN IRANIAN-CANADIAN WOMAN WHO GREW UP IN IRAN, IMMIGRATED TO AND LIVE IN CANADA, I AM INTERESTED IN EXPLORING THE INTERSECTING WORLDS BETWEEN EASTERN AND WESTERN ARTS, ALSO FEMINISM ART. IN MY ARTWORKS, I INVESTIGATE BOTH MEMORY AND PRESENCE. EVERYDAY LIFE AND RITUAL, THE ABSTRACT AND SPIRITUAL, AND MONOCHROME AND MINIMAL DESIGNS ALL COME TOGETHER TO ACTUALIZE MY ART PIECES.
