About me

I am an artist and filmmaker based in Darmstadt, Germany. I am currently studying Motion Pictures at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences. Before that, I studied Theater Directing at Azad University, Central Tehran Branch. I began in theater, then worked across art and design, and now I’m focused on film. I recently completed an internship at the Weiterstadt Film Festival.

I like things that build slowly. What's left unsaid mattersto me as much as what's on the page. I'm still figuringout how to work that way.

I'm less interested in a recognizable style than in how I notice things. I collect small, random fragments and trust the connections to show up later. The process starts messy, but it eventually turns into something that makes sense.

Don’t carry the raft.

Born in a small town in southern Iran, I eventually moved to the capital. Navigating a new culture, a big city, and greater academic pressure taught me how to adapt quickly. That early resilience became a foundation for how I approach life. That outsider perspective stayed with me, teaching me to observe before I speak. I often found myself watching people, caught by the gap between what they said and what they meant. Eventually, I wanted to explore that gap for myself, and that is what quietly led me toward art.

I started with theater studies, which was my first real exposure to art in a serious, academic way. It introduced me to a wide range of artists and their works. I eventually shifted to film studies because I saw more potential in this medium and felt a stronger tendency toward moving images. Together, they shaped how I approach art today.

Working across different fields and media, I treat them all as one continuous study. I don't have a fixed destination or a rigid five-year plan. I'd rather follow the threads and see where they lead, trusting in the old saying, "The wind will carry us."
