🦅Artist is also a wildlife rehabilitator
📸Elaborate staged tableaus, not documentary photos

Sheida Soleimani stages haunting photographs that weave together her family's migration story with the fragile bodies of birds she rehabilitates as a wildlife rescuer. The Iranian-American artist builds elaborate tableaus exploring exile, queerness and environmental crisis: art and activism fused into something quietly devastating.
