"How can I close my eyes to these problems?...Yes, My work is about the people, about myself, because I am one of them."

"I am living in Tehran. Capital city of Iran which is so crowded. There is lots of limitation specially for woman."

"I am working to talk about violence, memory, paradox, transsexuals, rape, the different between men and women.... We see lots of girls get plastic surgery to become more beautiful. They wear strange high heel shoes and clothes.... They wear make up like a monster.....only to be seen."

"I am working to think...'' WHERE ARE WE?'' I am working in different media to show my issues, to express myself and my idea. I paint, draw, make sculptures and collages. I take photos and sometimes make videos. Most of the time I improvise because I am thinking about issues all the time and my life involved in thoughts."

"When I want to make collage I use everything, I collect photos and things that match to my ideas. like mirror, hair, nail, eyebrow, wool, waxing sheet, found things, bones, socks, sponges and....When I draw or paint I do it without any sketch I feel free in this way, But when I want o make sculpture I usually use my sketch book and make them with different media."

"I am working rapidly I think I finish 1 work in a day but it depends on size of the artwork. I am workaholic so I have to work everyday to improve my works and ideas."
