My projects in books and theatre explore image, memory, public culture, and the emotional life of institutions. Though they move across different forms, they are linked by a visual artist’s attention to composition, a playwright’s sense of timing, and a long engagement with museums, heritage, and the ways societies shape public meaning.

Architecture of Renewal

Illustrated narrative nonfiction

Architecture of Renewal: How Cultures Use Heritage to Move Forward asks how a society modernizes without erasing itself. Moving room by room through museums and museum-adjacent sites in Iran from 1870 to 1941, the book shows how heritage became civic infrastructure: a way of organizing memory, legitimacy, and public life. A completed, scene-driven work of narrative nonfiction of approximately 60,000 words, with 25 to 30 original drawings. 3rd_PITCH_Architecture of Renew…

LEARNING TO BREATHE

Nonfiction

BREATHE is a voice-driven work of nonfiction about breath, attention, and the spaces that shape how we move through the world. It brings embodied experience into conversation with public life, asking how feeling is trained, how attention is directed, and how the body learns what the mind has not yet named. 3rd_PITCH_Architecture of Renew…

Ferdowsi

A glittering, razor-edged comedy of manners, power, and cultural custody, inspired by Architecture of Renewal, in which every courtesy conceals a contest over what and whom a nation is meant to keep.

Ferdowsi is a stage work in development.

Moments in Spring

Dark musical comedy

Moments in Spring is a dark musical comedy about antisemitism and allyship, unfolding like a puzzle the audience actively seeks to solve, with music acting as both illumination and misdirection.
