ARTIST STATEMENT: 

As a newcomer immigrant female artist, I have voice, freedom, and respect to express my feelings without fear in public. My Pillow is my first installation series in Canada. Therapeutic conceptual art project presented with different mediums such as poetry, photography, painting, collage, video, body, and digital art.

My Pillow

A person is usually born on a bed with many dreams.

My Pillow. My closest friend.
I lay there hours after hours.

Fantasizing.
Crying.

Shouting.

Laughing.

Going to school.

Falling in love.

Hate.
Being Pregnant.

Feeling alone.

Suffering and dying.
This pillow is a part of me or even myself. 

بالش من

 آدمی معمولا روی تخت به دنیا می آید

در تخت روی بالش از نزدیک ترین دوست هایش رویا می بافد
گریه می کند

می خندد

مدرسه می رود

عاشق می شود

متنفرمی شود

بچه دار می شود

تنها می شود

رنج می کشد

و میمیرد
.این بالش بخشی از من است شاید خود من
