Year: 2024
Media/Materials: Plexiglass, wood, sensors, stepper motors, Arduino, 3D-printed components
Size: 72 × 24 × 48 inches
My work explores the emotional weight of environmental loss through interactive installations grounded in personal memory. Growing up in Guilan, Iran, I witnessed firsthand the disappearance of rivers, forests, and marine life. These experiences drive my practice, which uses digital technology, sculpture, and sensor-based interaction to create poetic spaces that reflect on ecological grief and resilience. I often leave electronic components visible to emphasize the presence-and consequences-of human intervention. By engaging viewers physically and emotionally, I aim to foster awareness and reflection on the Anthropocene and the fragile relationships we hold with nature. My installations speak to those who understand displacement, memory, and environmental change-not just as distant issues, but as lived realities. Through this lens, my art becomes a gesture of mourning, care, and an invitation to imagine more sustainable futures.
