I live in films; growing up, I often envisioned myself in movie scenes as the female characters. In Iranian cinema, physical intimacy is not permitted to be shown on camera. Hence, the discrepancy between representation and lived-experience has shaped most of my artistic practices, particularly evident in my exploration of “deprived embodiment” in the process of knowledge-making and storytelling. I record films and work with folk stories, lores, rituals, narrative gaps, stones, puppets, and glasses. I hold an MA in ViCCA; Visual Culture, Curating, and Contemporary Art from Aalto University, Finland.
