Farideh began her art career painting at an easel, but with changing times in Iran and the world, her perspective changed. She began to sculpt, weave, cut, smash, attach, detach, build up, tear down—searching for the means to express her obsessions and the burning questions in her mind. She discovered video—a means to draw her audience into her work so that they face the whys and wherefores and become an essential part of the work. This mixture of images and space make it possible to express reality and illusion and opened a broad spectrum of possibilities to create works that communicate more directly with the audience—allowing her to express her search for the light, the soul, the hidden meaning of life and the source of a new day.
