"The nature of life in the crowded city of Tehran, it gave me an idea to start my weaving with the theme of the buildings Today, with the rise of urbanization as well as the advancement of technology, there is no balance between man and nature. Irregular constructions, ignoring the natural landscapes, have formed dry and dull landscapes around us, which has caused various complex and unpredictable environmental, psychological and social effects. The slow nature of the art of weaving at a time when technology has accelerated life, it encourages us to move slowly and it makes us connect with ourselves and life It seems that today's world needs more female energy to live in peace, the contrast in showing the chaos and haste in our surroundings, with the art of weaving, which is more related to our female part, invites the audience to think.
