I work across textiles, soft sculpture, video, and interactive media to explore how diasporic, gendered bodies move through architectures of control, care, and visibility. My work inhabits the friction between material and immaterial, softness and code, tradition and technology. Rooted in personal and collective histories of displacement, it navigates the textures of cultural memory and the ruptures of migration.

I am drawn to the convergence of fabric and digital media—not as aesthetic contrast, but as conceptual resistance. In my practice, embroidery, layering, and stitching are not decorative—they are acts of reclamation. These techniques, shaped by Iranian traditions and passed down through generations of women, carry embedded knowledge of survival and self-definition. I use them to engage the body—both its representation and its presence—within spatial systems shaped by gender, surveillance, and power.

Digital media, often coded as disembodied and masculine, becomes in my work a site of tenderness and disruption. I merge traditional Iranian sewing with video, projection mapping, motion sensors, and interactive systems to create environments where the viewer’s movement and touch complete the work. Fabric becomes screen. Memory becomes interface. The installation becomes a threshold between here and elsewhere.

My installations do not offer resolution. They invite participation, slowness, and intimacy. They trace a lineage of marginalized experience while refusing containment. In navigating the porous space between craft and technology, visibility and concealment, presence and absence, I seek to collapse binaries that have long excluded bodies like mine. My work insists on complexity, multiplicity, and embodiment—as resistance, as ritual, and as radical continuity.
