I am a multidisciplinary artist and writer originally from Neyshabur, Iran. My creative journey began with a Master’s degree in Visual Communication from the Iran University of Art, which laid the foundation for my work as a visual designer and photographer across a variety of industries. Alongside my visual practice, I have nurtured a lifelong passion for storytelling, having published numerous short stories in literary magazines and receiving several national short story awards in Iran. My first short story collection is in the process of publication.

Since immigrating to Canada in 2023, I have continued my explorations in writing, painting, and photography, all of which are deeply informed by my experiences as an Iranian artist in a new cultural landscape. My work centers on themes of identity and memory, weaving together personal narratives and collective histories to showcase the complexities of migration and belonging.

Through my art and writing, I aspire to build bridges between diverse cultural perspectives, encouraging dialogue and empathy while honoring the nuances of each individual story.
