About The Artwork

My work revolves around weaving archival photographs together, focusing on the broader themes of memory and cultural identity. I delve into how our experiences shape our perceived identities, using the physical act of weaving as both a method and a metaphor. By applying these interwoven images onto birch plywood surfaces, which are then sanded and varnished, I create three-dimensional objects that embody the complexity of memory. The motif of weaving has become central to my practice, allowing me to explore the intricate relationship between form, colour, and surface. This process of manipulating portraits enables me to illustrate my ideas about memory in a tangible way. Through my work, I aim to depict the memories of individuals, using the woven images as a visual representation of the memory process. For me, photography serves as a documentation of who we are and what we do—a record of moments in time. Although photography is the starting point of my practice, I experiment with image manipulation to better convey my concepts of cross-cultural perspectives on identity. This approach allows me to deepen the exploration of how memory and cultural experiences intertwine to shape our sense of self.

I am an Iran born artist based in London. My work is mainly based on weaving archival photographs together with a focus on the wider concepts of memory and cultural identity. I explore how memory of our experiences can contribute to our perceived identities. I apply the interwoven images to birch plywood surfaces that are then sanded and varnished, resulting in a three-dimensional object. Weaving has become synonymous with my practice, becoming a motif within my work. The process of physically manipulating portraits allows me to explore the relationship between form, colour and surface to illustrate my ideas on memory. I attempt to describe the memories of people and the weavings are a pictorial description of the memory process. Photography for me is the documentation of who we are, what we do; a record of a moment in time. While the photographic medium is the starting point of my practice, I experiment with image manipulation to better illustrate my ideas concerning cross-cultural perspectives on identity.
