Abstract	:	In this paper I discuss the motivations and inspirations that contextualize my artistic practice during the course of my 2-year MFA degree, including my thesis exhibition, <i>Wandering Isle</i>. Within this paper I investigate the notion of multiple identities as it applies to Iranian women in relation to different contexts such as history, place, politics and religion. Considering myself a storyteller, my research is based on lived experience and personal observations. I deconstruct visual elements such as Islamic patterns, Farsi texts and self-portraits in the context of culture and history in order to develop my own vocabulary which captures and encodes my states of being and becoming. Focusing on <i>hijab</i> as one of the most powerful forces that shapes women’s identities in Iran, I make visible new identities, which develop in response to the concept of veiling and through acts of protest.
