    I’m a full-time artist, currently living in Seattle. My main focus is drawing. I lived the first 23 years of my life in Tehran before I moved to France to study Fine Art. I moved to Seattle in 2013 and have been living the double life since then. I am doing my best to curate the ANTiPODE exhibition.

    I’m a scientist, currently researching the sense of touch and haptics. I lived the first 23 years of my life in Tehran before I moved to Seattle to study liquid droplets at UW. I moved to Seattle in 2010 and have been living the double life since then. I am doing my best to help Saïna with ANTiPODE.
