To all the people living in the present age.


He is a Gilaks boy whose ancestors roamed and settled among the gelae tribe on the southwestern shores of the Caspian Sea, born into a cultured family. His travels to Gilan, particularly to the city of Lahijan, subtly influenced his awareness during childhood and adolescence.


His childhood days were spent with the books intended for his father and in the home. The interaction between urban living and occasional trips to the village and his grandmother’s house, one of his favorite places, ignited the light of his earliest dreams during childhood, leading to the joy of creation and discovery.


After completing his pre-university studies at the outstanding Allameh Helli High School, he moved to Isfahan for university education. While studying industrial design at the University of Arts in Isfahan, he began working as a researcher at the BTS Industries Company. At the same time, his membership in the global AIESEC organization linked him with his Ethiopian roots; an organization dedicated to student exchanges aimed at achieving the global goals of the United Nations for creating a sustainable and positive world.


He began his professional career at the Creativity and Architecture Museum of Isfahan - the Safavi modern art House and at the engineering company of architects and urban planners Polsheer, managed by Dr. Ghaneei, a prominent figure in Iranian architecture and urban planning, continuing until 2020. During that time, he managed, planned, and held the event commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus in Weimar, which took place simultaneously in Isfahan and other parts of the world.


After beginning his master’s studies and amid the COVID-19 pandemic, suddenly and for two years, his professional activities were halted, prompting a journey back to Gilan. All of this led to deep reflection, self-purification, and a retreat to nature, establishing a residence as the highest grant given to humans in space and returning to his birthplace, significantly altering his path: abandoning all that had been done and turning to understanding the causes.


Everything was brought back to action. Through a project titled “See You in Gilan,” aimed at documenting the oral and visual history of Gilan, he, like all the people of his land, took steps toward the dream of freedom with the emergence of the Women, Life, Freedom movement.


During these years of sorrowful existence, he became poorer within. He sank into grief and asked himself, “What do I want from this world?”


It happened.


“Unless someone is born anew, they cannot see the kingdom of God.”
John 3:3


In mid-2023, at the suggestion of Siavash Sufi Nejad, he moved to Tehran, and began working as an assistant design manager at the Portuguese company villasufia. Free from self-promotion, during this time, he collaborated with another curator to organize the exhibition “Intersect - 01” at Sufi Gallery. A visually stunning combination of design, painting, and sculpture. Each day, his eyes opened more and more to the world, and he found infinite calm in witnessing this breathtaking exhibition, a place for study and exploration. It seemed that a rebirth was taking shape. The curtains had been partially drawn aside. Insights limited to these converging powers were gained, and, on the other hand, some moral deficiencies that troubled him were overcome in this process. Both aspects were always essential for salvation, and a gradual spiritual maturity formed alongside these insights.


The opportunity to return to society arose, accompanied by the uneven material difficulties of life. Everything was brought back to action.
