My Work
Enter a captivating journey through the rich tapestry of Iranian mythology and history. My projects delve deep into the realms of mythological narratives, exploring the fascinating stories of gods, heroes, and mystical creatures that have been passed down through generations. Through my work, I aim to preserve Iran's heritage and shed light on its extreme influence on global mythology and history.
1001 Mythical Creatures
From J.K. Rowling’s Mythological Beasts and Where to Find Them to popular renditions of Greek mythology in bestselling novels like Circe by Madeleine Miller, magical stories permeate our imaginations.
Luckily, Iranian culture has a deep well of narratives to draw upon. Until now, many of these fables have stayed stuck in local lore. Inspired by The Brothers Grimm’s roving search for fairy tales, the 1001 Mythical Creatures of Iranian Culture and Beyond effort collects, illustrates, and catalogs stories that have been passed down for thousands of years.
