Over time, people have become increasingly reliant on cities. Therefore, people need to live in better cities to have a good life. A good city is formed by good citizens; the government cannot and should not build cities alone. Art can be a tool that fosters a positive relationship between citizens and governments, and cities can serve as the foundation for creating better communities. A city's success is contingent on the collaboration and active involvement of its citizens, local government, and various stakeholders. By leveraging the power of art and emphasizing the importance of civic responsibility, cities can become dynamic hubs that enrich the lives of their inhabitants and pave the way for a brighter future. I use a mixed-media approach, using materials that evoke specific and diverse sensory reactions to create an image. The black background symbolizes the urban context's dominance over the contemporary lives of women and men. The torn collage papers, scratched surfaces, bright golden spots or lines, and the use of warm colors represent light, hope, and refreshment.

The Hands
Hands symbolize human action, reflecting our ability to create, nurture, and connect. While individual efforts are important, true meaning comes from collaboration and solidarity. Together, we cultivate not only growth but also a deeper and more purposeful existence. If we consider flowers as symbols of a city's soul, their flourishing depends on the unity and support of its citizens for one another.

Dance with me
Life often resembles a dance, where each of us takes on the role of a dancer on a grand stage. The more we align ourselves with the rhythm of life, the more vibrant and fulfilling our experiences become. This journey is made even more beautiful when we share our movements and joy with others, creating a harmonious connection.

Yalda Night
Yalda Night symbolizes shared joy for Iranians amidst the winter's cold and stillness. Even during war, it brought people together in joy. This night represents resistance against lethargy, and in recent years, has become a collective action that highlights the continuation of life despite the challenges of everyday urban life.

Singing a Different Song
The issue of women's experiences has been widely discussed; however, every woman has unique experiences and perceptions that are rarely understood by others. These experiences create an exceptional flow in her mind, shaped by her individual femininity, which may not even be comprehensible to other women in different social conditions.

One Should Line on
One should live on
Sometimes with a red flower
Sometimes with a faint glimmer of hope
One should live on
Sometimes with a lyric of feeling
Sometimes with a cluster of jasmine flowers
One should live on
Sometimes with the purest poetry of the time
Sometimes with the simplest story of a human
One should live on
Sometimes you have to laugh
An endless loop
Your moments be without sadness
Have a peaceful days

The Stories of the People
Every city tells its story through its people's lives, blending bitter and sweet experiences. Like the sunflower continuously facing the sun, urban life reflects this duality, where hardship and hope coexist. If we see darkness as the ultimate bitterness, flowers become symbols of resilience, reminding us that light and life persist even in the most challenging times.

The Woman, The Man, The City
Women and men encounter numerous limitations in their daily lives, keeping their true feelings buried deep within. These obstacles hinder the free expression of genuine human emotions. Imagining a green landscape within the human body symbolizes our innate connection to nature—a bond that fades as we grow and is further weakened by the increasing constraints of life, distancing us from our true selves.

Songs of the City
On a dark night in Tehran, I was flooded with memories as I walked through the vibrant yet quiet streets. Street musicians played with passion, their music filling the air. The melody of a hang drum, performed by a young woman, created a unique and atmospheric ambiance. Despite the urban challenges, particularly those faced by women, a lingering sense of freedom kept hope alive, reminding me that the city still embraced beauty and life.

Peaceful City
The war in Ukraine was a shock, turning vibrant cities into ruins. The streets were empty of people, buildings fell, and lives were shattered. Yet, responses from cities worldwide brought hope, proving that compassion transcends borders and politics. When someone loses their home, another city stands ready to welcome them, offering not just shelter but a sense of belonging and resilience.

People of the City
Urban environments significantly influence people, often making their faces resemble paintings. Each individual wears a mask that reflects their need to adapt to their surroundings. Using the mask isn't necessarily negative; it's a natural human response that allows common emotions like joy, sadness, hope, and regret to coexist in urban life.

One day, an urban facilitator told me that when I struggle to understand a topic, taking a step back and observing it from a distance can be helpful. Try to detach yourself from the situation and view yourself and the topic from an external perspective. Immerse yourself in nature, allowing the world's vastness to help you gain clarity on both yourself and the issues at hand.
