She is skilful in geometrical patterns, reverse painting on glass and mirror and Islamic patterns. Also researching on European medieval and Persian manuscripts are the main resources in her practice. In her practice, she is looking for the conflict between our contemporary lifestyle and the lost truth. Also confronting with her fears, dreams and fantasies.
