My art is my personal story. I was brought up in the Eastern traditions, which were in contact and intertwined with Western culture. Their contradictory nature raised the question of self-identity, which led to the research of my cultural heritage.

In my artistic practice, I explore cultural codes and refer to the ancient traditions of Azerbaijan, reinterpreting them in the context of the modern woman.

One of the themes is the tradition of carpet weaving, an indigenous female craft, in which one had to have knowledge of the golden ratio, composition, harmony and precise calculation, as each knot had its place in complex ornamental compositions. The patterns and their symbolism were handed down from generation to generation and were strictly observed.

My research delves deeply into the contemporary issues of women's role in history and her current position: as a modern woman, I do not possess the skills of my great-grandmother, but I possess other skills.

I have inherited pieces of carpet, which I can use thread and wool to weave or sew onto canvas and turn into a new work. I create abstractions as a symbol of the loss of cultural heritage and revival based on old cultural codes and the introduction of new ones, using the example of Azerbaijani and Mexican carpets.

I observe the integration, modification, interaction of traditions, their relevance, applicability in order to compare them with others, to explore and show the commonality of cultures.
