Art student based in Paris looking for a part-time job with an artist in Amsterdam. *dancer *musician My inspirations come from the memory of the body, from the heritage, then from the structure, whether architectural, corporeal or natural. I wonder about energy imprints, vibrations and soul exchanges. The notion of transmission and transgenerational are constituent elements of my work, I seek to illustrate the phenomenon of emotivity then the emotional biases that can result from it. I wish to register my work in an introspective desire, to return to the roots. through these multiple experiences, I explore shapes, bodies as well as their exchanges and then their influences. From this, I make different interpretations, personification of these energies, while experimenting with these representations through different mediums. Through painting and drawing, I seek to define my intuitions, fictional characters and bodies. Through video and photography, I seek to give an atmosphere to a situation, to concretize it in a fictitious reality. Through dance, I give substance to my emotions, to a character that I interpret. I feed my research with the help of various philosophical texts, Socrates or Pascal for example. From films by Stanley Kubrick, David Fincher or Gaspar Noe. Visual artists like Abdelkader Benchamma, Giorgia O’Keeffe, Erik Nussbicker or even choreographers like Mourad Merzouki or Martha Graham

Underground, where souls get lost, despite its many passers-by. I wonder about metaphysical exchanges and their consequences on sentient beings
Despite the genetics, the similarities; the same physique, the same look, the same movement. An undeniable closeness despite a lack. An inevitable emptiness, a profound absence, a vain familiarity. Dancing naturally brought us together, Now, who are you and what have you become? Apart from a rejection, an obsession, an abandonment. Your presence seems to me as improbable as it is obvious. Today, what are we left with? Aside from rare skewed memories, marks and footprints of each other. Who am I and what have I become? Apart from a sad and neglected child. Who are we to each other? Besides a dreadful inner breach, tremendous pain. Through this video, I create a choreographic interpretation of a personal, family, of my internal war. I seek to illustrate abandonment in the ambivalence of its term; the action of abandoning but also the action of abandoning oneself, ceasing to struggle physically. This personal war, which for many years, torments me, obsesses me, gnaws at me, can only be exteriorized through dance, a direct breath from the body, then from the mind. It was following the cultural differences between Iran and France, the political war within this country, that my internal war was as obligatory as it was inexorable
