I hold an MFA in studio art from Georgia Southern University, where I defended my thesis in Spring 2021. My practice focuses on the exploration of the identity of space and material bodies (both living and nonliving) and takes shape in sculptural objects.
My work tries to be critical of human exceptionalism and material indifference and, on a larger ecological scale, calls for a decentralization of the human. Most of my installations investigate the intrinsic vitality and the hidden interplay between material and the invisible forces that flow through and around within the spaces that confine us. In my work, all forms of matter are understood as animated and agential, and as different representations of the same substance that are only formally diverse.
I was born and raised in Esfarayen, Iran, and currently live in Allentown, PA.
