spiritual connection and love: the bird, often a nightingale, represents the lover, and the flower, the beloved. After migrating to Canada, I began creating a new series of Gol-o-Morgh paintings—a way to bridge my present reality in Canada with my memories of Iran, weaving fragments of these two worlds together. These works can be seen as a contemporary dialogue with the traditional Gol-o-Morgh painting in Iran.

Over time, the paintings moved beyond their initial symbolism, becoming vessels for my dreams, memories, and emotions that quietly slipped into my inner world. What began as a way to reconnect with my homeland transformed into an expression of imagination and storytelling.
