The concept of my work is the future mentality of the urban society. I deal with the on-going and unresolved issues of the urban society.Through out my research in the memory layers of society and my personal experiences in this society. All that is done by trying to avoid the affect of contemporary elements of brain wash.

My artwork create visions of the violence to be absent from the urban society.
By using out-of-focus technique and covering my images with silk, uncertainty of time and place in the subject of my photography which are the whole marks of my art are created.

The politic of deceit transformed me and the camera to a truth-seeking device.
