All about mimi khoshbakht
What you see here is an immediate translation of my state of mind and emotional world into solid matter, shaped by a various social-historical encounters.
A series of experiences, including war, climate catastrophes and the loneliness of human beings amid the ongoing crisis have left their mark on the violent twists of the figures.

This is a curtain call of the no man’s land between humanity and bestiality.
I was after a certain kind of beauty given to and found in imperfection, half-eaten bodies and scarred appearances, meant to bring out a sense of self-identification in the viewer.
The essence of what I have tried to achieve is already explained by Rumi when he says “Whatever appearing in mind is real , so materialise it.” – Mimi Khoshbakht
