I am constantly fascinated by the unpredictability of gesture and thought and I find the ideal reward in the exploration of materials and constant affirmation of ideas and imagination. Making entropy of both the human-made and the natural my central concern, my interest lies in the pointed critique of the idea of progress through sculptures and installations. Everyday situations are distilled into succinct conceptual gestures; as text, object, and action, creating a visual archaeology of progress and decay, whether it is the erosion of physical forms or of social and historical meaning. Rippling in the insecurity of the artistic practice, questing the value of symbols and semiotics, I seek solace in the materialisation of instinctual gesture. In my working experience in Teheran, as assistant architect, i was really fascinated by interiors, understood as physical presence in a space and as education.
