He contributes as a freelancer to Chelcherag Magazine and Zard magazine amongst other popular and professional papers in Iran.

The book, launching at Framer Framed in July 2024 was inspired by their residency at Werkplaats Molenwijk, a project space of Framer Framed in the Molenwijk neighbourhood of Amsterdam.
