VAIN / VELANTIN

you hold the elastic band within and ( I UP MY PHONE)

When i’m scared, my skin breaks out accordingly A sponge squeezed No one to close the faucet unbothered Squeezed ,god came Lava of the pores, If its clogged it rains If its clogged it pours The pore the rhinestones  one sits one does the chores Tied ribbons hold  Try one more time, then hide under a plaster mould Then jump but nothing tries to hold Body is a mould,   god under a piece of brioche But when the god is dipped in hot water Its dissolved Swim in the water fountain For the body dissolves into the spoon And we’ll reside as coco doors are cops too and they’ll die when they smell the godlike fragrance of yours

These dogs want me gone

Forever jetlagged on every surface, plane, floor

2018 Apron designed, for the art/fashion foundation "Fagucci", A foundation founded by me and a friend, to encourage unisex clothes production and clothes recycling, especially aimed at the LGBT community in Iran. Conceptually, this design focuses on how our parents shape our personality in the future and how we unconsciously inherit their personality traits, especially the negative ones . On the horse's apron it says "Mom, The Hefty Feeder", the second thing to notice is the line " My constitution lies on your spoon" which reflects on the fragile nature of children that is easily affected by their environment, and especially by their parents. A lot of people's psychological problems are rooted in their childhood. The product is available for purchasing as of now.

“When the time came for Athena to be born, the smith god, Hephaistos, opened Zeus' head with an axe, and Athena stepped out, in full armor. The birth of Athena was a favorite topic of Greek vase painters.“

At first glance, this sculpture of mine narrates the story of little mermaid, the girl whom exchanged her voice for human legs, to be accepted and loved. The story itself is pretty much a metaphor of how females adapt themselves to the “man”-made expectation of society. Besides that, this work is extremely personal to me as it pictures a recurring dream of mine, about a relationship where I was emotionally abused. the word DIV translates to ghoul or demon, which is how I see him, and the act of diving is generally a metaphor of intimacy and being in love in my works.

This piece visualizes how the image of women is often overtly sexualized , and despite the overwhelming battle; they are the passionate caregivers , the selfless Aphrodites , The nourishing core of the universe. all the objects surrounding the sitting woman represent the societal expectations of women in one way or another.

 Inspired by Dali’s “The masturbator” concept in which he ironically shows his own complexes regarding sex ; this piece mocks extreme taboos regarding love and sex which are basics of Persian culture; where I come from. “Lust” here is shown as demons sitting on the fountain and human as their slaves, the circle connecting the two persons shows “cell division” and therefore stands for “sexual interaction. The style is mixture of Persian Miniature and Dali’s surrealism. The heart created from the collision of the two heads on the floor , reminisces the fact that sexual interaction lies above emotions in today’s world.

Dedicated to Dorsa and her everlasting battle with depression

personal poetry 

Contrary to the common belief that men are more likely to be abusive in a relationship, this photograph simply captures the ability of women to be abusive, too and emphasizes on “selfishness” as the main trait of all human beings and not only men.
