“In solitude, I found my home”
Ever since childhood, I have been moving from one place to another and was never able to have a single specific place that I could call home. This made me think about the true meaning of home and how it feels to come back to it. How did I feel each time when I wanted to be back to a place from a tiring day at work? Or, after walking around with that fake mask of what they call a true ‘social being’ simply to fit into the various ways of the society?
This innate craving to belong somewhere has made us underestimate the moments where all we had was ourselves in our own solitude. I understood in time that everything else changes and will change for good or bad. What never changes is the alone time with our own being where we can freely think and express without being judged or criticised. It’s that one place where I can express all my emotions without thinking twice. Solitude has given me something to fall back on days when I just want to be left alone. In solitude, I found that peace which I have been looking for. In solitude, I found my home.

"Split Personality" at Brunswick Street Gallery, Fitzroy, VIC 3065, January 2023
An exhibition featuring small artworks of artists across Australia. The key feature of the exhibition was that the artworks should be smaller than 35X35 cm.
The painting offers a visual interpretation of the subconscious as a tangible form. The subconscious subtly influences our thoughts, actions, and emotions—it is an inner knowing that operates almost as instinct. Often unseen, it shapes our inherent nature and the parts of ourselves we may not consciously recognize.

The Iran series responds to the devastation witnessed in Iran and reflects my deep sense of discontent. Coming from a conservative background, I resonate strongly with the lived experiences of Iranian women—long silenced and now courageously reclaiming their voices. Working primarily with denim, I explore surface treatments through repeated dyeing and bleaching. Red signifies suppressed anger, black strokes reference the cutting of hair during protests, and light blue represents the justice still awaited.

"Made by many" at the Campbell's Arcade, Melbourne VIC 3000, August 2021.
"The individual is a great accumulation of all that is around them, present, past and even into the future. We could say, we are made by many. Celebrating the collective that is behind us all, we ask a selection of Melbourne’s fashion designers, makers and artists, who is it that is behind them. Who inspires them, supports them and propels them to make wonderful ideas into reality"
