Art is my emotional release.This piece was a personal release of anger, sadness-helping me express what I can’t put in words about reality.

My favorite type of art to create is art that has meaning. I don’t see art as just something visual; I see it as a way to show emotions, thoughts, and reasons behind them. Honestly, any art that helps express a feeling or message is the kind I enjoy creating most.
Where do you find inspiration?Mostly feelings from inside. I get most ideas while I’m sleep!weird.It’s happening all the time.I used to design logos,& most ideas came out in sleep. I get inspired the most when I’m emotional,like now,with all happening in my back home, Iran. sadness, confusion, and overthinking push me to create, because art becomes my way of express what I can’t say out loud. Another example, I draw my best friend sketch once internet and calls were shouted down in Iran we were worried & I missed her so much
What would you do with $25,000?I don’t know yet. This art is not for sale ( I mean I didn’t submit for prize.) But I think if I do win, I like to do something for Iran. I have 3 cats at home right now. Lili, Lemon & Leo. I like to build animal shelters in Iran during this war time so stary cats & dogs in streets won’t scared from bomb sounds.. With providing food and water and safe place for them.
