I studied art in middle and high school in Tehran. The 1979 Iranian revolution brought immense societal changes, which forced many in my generation to leave as intellectual refugees. During my journey, I frequently sketched and wrote about people’s emotions and responses in different cultures. I always made time to paint and draw. Still, time was prioritized to study during my undergraduate and medical school years. During residency and after that, my urge to turn human sadness, confusion, and misery into positivity, health, and happiness was satisfied daily as surgery allowed me to rework and reconstruct my patients’ physical realities. I began to think with my head to solve the puzzles of ailments and work with my hands to create a new reality in one of the best art mediums, the human body. As a professor of anatomy, I understood the body's function, motion, and movement through countless dissections. I sketched my anatomical findings and incorporated my drawings into my scientific writings. Over the years, I have emphasized the organic causes of the soul’s sadness due to the body’s malfunction. I am a surgeon who helps postpartum women through the art of medicine. I am an artist who advocates for new mothers by retelling their stories through art.
