As a visual artist specializing in video art, sculpture, and installations, I explore themes of identity, self-reflection, and philosophical concepts. My work merges traditional techniques, like mirror art, with contemporary media, drawing inspiration from Persian literature and theorists such as Lacan. Through international collaborations, I've developed immersive and thought-provoking projects. My diverse portfolio encompasses mixed media, photography, animation, and sculpture, all aimed at engaging audiences through innovative visual storytelling.
