Happy to be part of this two-person exhibit with Soheila Esfahani which opened at the Campbell River Art Gallery in British Columbia on July 9, 2020. The exhibit runs until September 2, 2020. 

This exhibition, curated by Jenelle M. Pasiechnik, presents sculpture and installation practices that communicate aspects of Arabic and Iranian culture in a Canadian contexts. The exhibit presents the translation of culture which occurs across international boundaries. 

I have had the opportunity to work with Soheila in previous exhibitions and it is always a pleasure to see our shared sensibilities and connections in our work.
