I grew up in films, imagining myself as female characters. In Iranian cinema, where physical intimacy is forbidden on screen, the gap between representation and lived experience has shaped my practice. This tension informs what I call deprived embodiment in my approach to knowledge-making and storytelling. 
My practice seeks those moments of fracture in hegemonic narratives, where authority holds sway yet remains unsettled by certain rituals and storytelling tools.
I record films and work with folklores, rituals, narrative gaps, stones, puppets, and glasses. I hold an MA in ViCCA: Visual Culture, Curating, and Contemporary Art from Aalto University, Finland.
