Inspired by my Iranian heritage, I symbolize my narrative of the social injustice and suppression prevalent in Iran. Through this thesis, I universalize the concept of resistance and hope for equality by raising awareness and giving a voice to the voiceless despite their significant sacrifices. In my studio practice, I sought to achieve a visual density that would enhance the immersive experiences. I constructed this by overlapping transparent materials such as tulle, resin, silk, and transparent sheets, creating a disorienting atmosphere that invites viewers to grapple with visual metaphors. This overwhelming ambiance, mirroring the despondent nature of the emotions conveyed in my stories, encourages viewers to align with my thoughts and join me on my journey. As a creator, the narrator stands with the Iranian people, expressing empathy through various mediums. They capture Iranian anguish, echo their messages metaphorically, and highlight their values. Symbolically present in all works are elements of Iranian art, the narrator's appearance, and voice. Through multimedia, solidarity is shown, and the voices of the Iranian people are expressed.
