Azita Mireshghi

Azita Mireshghi is an American born Iranian metalsmith and studio artist living and working in Santa Monica, CA where she was born and raised. Her work in general explores emotional reactions caused by adornment. Azita’s current body of work is about collective liberation and the interconnectedness of human oppression. It is not about one specific place or event, although ideas are illustrated through the struggles of my people (Iranians) and how it mirrors the global fight for collective liberation -- It is about the essence of this world and humanity as a whole. This collection explores the concept of otherness and and its deployment as a tool of division. Until humanity recognizes the strength in unity, we will remain susceptible to manipulation and destruction by malevolent forces. Embracing togetherness is crucial for our salvation.
