Title:
I started my artistic career in Iran a couple years after the 1978 revolution. I arrived in the UK in 1985 as a political asylum seeker. My practice developed through a concern to explore cultural/political agendas, employing performance in relation to installation and photography. My work challenges preconceptions, and raises questions about dehumanisation, such as human alienation, displacement and oppression of women. While my artistic expression comes from deeply personal places and influenced by my background, it is also concerned with more universal issues around the contemporary human condition. In my art work I am interested in showing the state of emotion, sensation, and phenomenon inflicted on humans by contemporary violations.
