My Persian Fridah

Mashhad, 2012, mixed media and photography, 3 photographs

My Persian Fridah is a series of mixed-media works, collage layered with photography, born from the spirit of Frida Kahlo: the artist, the feminist, the relentless witness to women's suffering. I carried her into Persian culture, into Iranian rooms, as if imagining how she might confront the constraints of a woman enclosed in a familiar but unyielding world. Kahlo lived inside the cage of her own pain, shaped by the accidents that marked her life. Here, another Fridah appears: trapped not by broken bones but by the quiet architecture of a society that holds her still. A world she knows, yet a prison nonetheless.

Exhibited at Aaran Art Gallery, Tehran, April 2012.

Am I Invisible?

Iran, 2015, photo series, 1 photograph

In a photo series titled Am I Invisible?, I explore the hidden pains of a woman trapped behind an unseen barrier, like a glass house no one acknowledges. The suffering is there, tangible, yet passersby look through as if it isn't real. Her pain, her existence, her very life become intertwined: to live is to resist, and to resist is to live.
