MARYAM IZADIFARD

Born in Tehran in 1982, I graduated from the Faculty of Art and Architecture Fine Arts program, at the University of Tehran in 2007. I left Iran to pursue graduate studies in the visual arts in 2011. Having obtained a diploma of French proficiency, I entered the Master’s Program in Visual and Media Arts of the University of Quebec in Montreal.

By analyzing these spaces, I explore the tensions between emptiness and occupation that they convey. When the human being is absent, is that private space truly empty?
