I am a multidisciplinary artist living in Brooklyn, NY originally from Iran. I work within the axis of healing as a space for multiplying meaning through translation and embodiment. Thinking through object-oriented feminism and time-based art, I am concerned with decoding social norms and cultural intersections through radical humor. Writing is at the core of my practice as is the poetics of place. I am an immigrant refugee of the Iran/Iraq War and much of my work is concerned with the radical joy that is at the core of mourning. There are those that have referred to my practice as that of a death doula. I am interested in the detritus of Capitalism, as well as the remnants and artifacts of the decasia of war. As such, when I make paintings I recycle my images and build each work, sometimes over years. I am currently concerned with the understanding that disability can slow down and speed up one's perception of time, with this in mind I am developing experimental animations of my paintings that help me express myself as a disabled person in space and time.
