I am an Iran born artist based in London.
My work is mainly based on weaving archival photographs together with a focus on the wider
concepts of memory and cultural identity. I explore how memory of our experiences can contribute
to our perceived identities.
I apply the interwoven images to birch plywood surfaces that are then sanded and varnished, resulting
in a three-dimensional object. Weaving has become synonymous with my practice, becoming a
motif within my work. The process of physically manipulating portraits allows me to explore the
relationship between form, colour and surface to illustrate my ideas on memory.
I attempt to describe the memories of people and the weavings are a pictorial description of the
memory process. Photography for me is the documentation of who we are, what we do; a record of
a moment in time.
While the photographic medium is the starting point of my practice, I experiment with image
manipulation to better illustrate my ideas concerning cross-cultural perspectives on identity.
