Illuminated Dualities
Selected for the 2025 London Art Biennale, Iran. Photograph on paper, 2024. 85x120cm.
Inspired by Baroque masters like Caravaggio and Rembrandt, my work uses chiaroscuro lighting to explore identity, culture, and time. Drawing from early portraiture, I blend classical aesthetics with contemporary Iranian fashion to reflect the duality of tradition and transformation. My images act as bridges between East and West, past and present, highlighting the fluid nature of belonging and cultural expression shaped by migration and memory.
