CURRENT MISSION

Try to live my dream

ABOUT ME

I’m a vegan, multidisciplinary artist (painter/musician) living with my three cats. I have a deep passion for self-expression and cultural exploration. I use art as a way to explore personal experiences, emotions, and identity. My work is mainly focused on surreal and conceptual art, creating performances, paintings, and experimental music using ethnic Iranian instruments such as the Tanbur and Daf. My art is centered around themes of trauma, healing, and emotional transformation.
Beyond art, I’m deeply involved in social and cultural activism, particularly in areas related to feminism, human and animal rights, and anti-racism. I also engage in research and deliver speeches at social studies conferences. I find great joy in connecting with people who share similar values and interests, and I believe that art and culture have the power to bring us closer together.
