Biography

Saba is Iranian, and she is in her first year of the MFA in Media at SIU. She completed her bachelor’s degree in photography in Iran and works in multimedia. She has held a number of exhibitions and performances in Iran, and now she wants to continue her work in America with a more open scope and diversity.

Most of her artworks explore the natural and human identity as a woman, set against a contrast. Due to her personal and life experiences, Saba incorporates a social concern into her works, which appears to challenge both herself and the audiences in her performances and artworks, as well as in interactive engagements. In fact, it seems that in most of her works, there are two contradictions: one involving the conventions that people create politically, geographically, and traditionally, and the other centered around the originality and free, natural identity of humans, challenging the audience.
