Abstract: | Environmental damage is a critical problem, especially in regions such as Baluchistan in Iran, where clean water scarcity poses a critical problem for people's lives and health. I am an Iranian Canadian interdisciplinary textile artist born and raised in Tehran. A lesson I learned from studying microbiology and observing microorganisms through a microscope is that scientific realities exist beyond our apparent perception. However, their impact on humans and non-humans cannot be ignored. My thesis idea is derived from my studio practices focusing on various fibres: As a result, my textile art installations reflect both physical manifestations and hidden causes of drought and water scarcity. Human interference and mismanagement of natural resources have been detrimental to the Iranian people, including myself. |
