Her works are inspired by the inner traditions and culture of her homeland. They are woven memories, born from the sensory experiences she has gained during her travels while encountering Iranian architecture from past centuries. The forms and colors she uses are meant to represent the decaying beauty of these abandoned structures, which is a stark contrast to the architecture of the recent living spaces and habitats.
