Rooted in the rich traditions of Iranian textile arts and Persian architecture, my practice explores the intersections of culture, identity, and the politics of visibility. Weaving serves as both material and metaphor in my work—drawing on its historical role in Iranian culture, where fabric is used to cover, protect, carry, and cherish. From domestic rituals to nomadic lives, textiles form the very structure of belonging.
My work reimagines these traditional practices through contemporary abstraction, reconstructing forms and spaces to reflect personal and collective experiences of displacement, gender oppression, and resilience. I’m deeply inspired by the opacity of identity, as articulated by Édouard Glissant—the radical right to remain unknowable in the face of Western demands for transparency.
Through layered weavings, fragmented forms, and the tension between concealment and revelation, I explore what it means to belong without being fully seen. My pieces offer spaces where cultural memory and contemporary critique are interwoven, honoring the legacy of Persian craft while pushing its material and conceptual boundaries.
