About the artist

Mahsa Soroudi was born in 1981 Tehran Iran. She has moved to Malysia to learn english and has moved to the US to find a new way to start life. In the video she has talked about the movements she has done to get other artist from Iran to let their art be explored. She involves her work to obtain herself as a women that is an immigrant and how she wants to show the world that her side is part of being artistic with many women just like her.

Formal Analysis Mahsa Soroudi had brought 2 project that reflected to her ways of moving forward and to over come of the way her life is portrayed. For instance, she used a plant that was succulents and they were on a plastic tray. The plant was green and the roots were pink with lavender and blueish. The plant also look like a potato chip and they are produced by the themselves. There was another plant that was long and the when they blossomed they look like a rose. The artist had said brought a great way to find herself in where she took care of the plants as where she knew that they would want to be take care of and be loved and thats how she found herself being compared too.

Content Analysis The artist had brought to a conclusion to where she had brought the plants to be strong and to find herself in because once she had came to the US she felt strange and was not something she was comfortable with. She produces her ways of discovering her ways as to where she could use the plants and to grow them and take caring care of them. she also states that she is an immigrant and that the plants can be as beautiful as when you look at them but never know whats going through their roots.

Synthesis/ My Experience Reviewing this artist I really enjoyed her ways of exploring art of where she feels strong and being patient. She uses the plants as to where she comes from a far distance place and refers to it as like she feels more close to it. Also seeing this artist as where she had wanted to start a move to where she can bring many Iranian women to bring out their art work in all over the world.
