“Poushosh” Collages are totally and fundamentally conceptual. For their creation is based on mere idea and concept. And technique and material are the secondary elements in them not the main. Some of the chosen material such as extracts from fashion journals would be ruined or forgotten if they weren’t used in these collections. But this collage revived them, reanimated them with a new life and function. Above all they have helped the artist and the artist has helped them.

Krakow's Museum of Contemporary art collection
The installation is part of the series ...as if they always belonged together, using mixed media: painting and coloured print, as well as objects found or bought at flea markets. The artist processes motifs familiar to the European visual tradition, interlacing them harmoniously with elements of Iranian culture. The work is a direct reference to one of René Magritte’s best-known paintings, The Son of Man, humorously pointing to the biblical Eve’s role as a tempter.
