Transformed Landscape

| 2023

Transformed Landscape emerged from collage materials left over from my earlier project Near and Far. By reusing discarded prints and fragments, I create layered compositions that merge Iranian and American landscapes. Through cutting, reordering, and disrupting geometric structures, I fracture familiar perspectives to form hybrid terrains landscapes that feel unsettled yet whole.

This process mirrors the experience of migration and belonging. Just as fragments of paper combine to create new images, lives shaped by displacement carry multiple geographies, memories, and identities at once. What begins as rupture transforms into resilience, revealing beauty within disorder.

By transforming remnants into possibility, Transformed Landscape reimagines nature not as fixed or singular, but as a living collage—fragmented, layered, and continually renewed.
