In 2009, my life changed forever as a member of the Green Movement in Tehran, protesting electoral fraud and broader injustices in Iran. I witnessed the regime transform public spaces to stifle social interaction, showcasing how politics infiltrates urban landscapes to silence citizens. In a context where newspapers and social media were censored, public spaces became the last bastion of free expression. Inspired by influential artists sharing my concerns, I decided to document these changes through exhibitions. Critical approaches became essential to deepening my projects as an independent artist.
