My work examines the material and social conditions embedded in acts of care, labor, and maintenance. Through installation, readymade forms, painting, and drawing, I work primarily with bread as both a sculptural medium and a culturally charged domestic artifact. I am interested in how this material carries traces of nourishment, gendered labor, survival, and deterioration. By altering, marking, eroding, suspending, or displacing bread within constructed environments, I push it beyond its functional and symbolic role. In my work, bread becomes unstable: cracking, collapsing, hardening, or decaying under pressure. I approach these transformations not simply as metaphors, but as material processes that reflect the fragility and persistence of care under social and economic strain.

Growing up in Iran and later immigrating to Canada has shaped my understanding of domestic space as both intimate and political. I am drawn to the invisible forms of labor that sustain everyday life, particularly those historically assigned to women and often excluded from systems of value and visibility. Through the tension between organic matter and rigid structures, my installations explore how acts of maintenance, and survival become embedded within broader cultural and political systems.

Rather than presenting care as sentimental or restorative, my work considers it as a site of exhaustion, resistance, and residue. I am interested in what remains after use, pressure, and neglect, and how materials themselves can hold memory, violence, and endurance.
