I am an Iranian-born artist living and working between Boston and New York. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture from the University of Tehran and a Master of Fine Arts from SMFA at Tufts University.

In my practice, I examine religious ideas and concepts that have shaped Iran’s current socio-political landscape, including holiness, piety, faith, and the hierarchy of divine will. I critically analyze and reinterpret these themes, often infused with irony and sarcasm, and reintegrate them into their original contexts. This exploration takes form through objects, installations, and speculative writings that aim to isolate and dissect the elements that sustain and legitimize these ideologies.

I employ AI to generate images for speculative ideas and use digital fabrication techniques, with a focus on concrete and architectural materials in my physical work. My Holy Objects series was recently featured in MIT’s Thresholds journal of Art and Architecture: Heat. I am also a recipient of the Tisch Fund for Civic Engagement, the Montague Travel Grant, and the Museum Council Sculpture Prize.
