About

I am an Iranian artist and photographer currently based in London. My journey began with my involvement in the Iranian Revolution of 1979 as a young idealistic partisan, taking to the streets in opposition to dictatorship and autocracy - like countless others in my generation.

The revolution and its tragic aftermath triggered a series of events which have come to define my life and work; a sequence of displacements, from Iran, to Afghanistan, to the Soviet Union, and finally to Britain, each more painful than the last.

​

I draw on this rich history of revolution, displacement, idealism, and pain to inform my work which, mirroring my own life, crosses the boundaries of mediums, styles, tone, and composition.

​

Through my work, I offer the viewer an insight into my memories - memories which are concealed to me behind the veil of aphantasia, a condition which renders visualisation impossible. Imagine not being able to imagine. Being an aphantasic photographer and artist, I have used my art to piece together my memory, my motivations, my story, inviting you to join me on this journey of discovery and rediscovery.
