Navid's work addresses cross-cultural issues by reviewing her experiences between two cultures.
Navid developed an esoteric language of signs and symbols from mythology and history. He is constantly trying to manipulate what images, forms and memories mean and how they work.
His installations are based on a reading of "indecision" that transforms into a transformable shape. In other words, the work can be demystified only by taking into account the assumptions of the person. Each element is loaded with meaning, it integrates. His reading of "indecisiveness" does not simply reflect a psychological state, but aims to be the sum total of all possible states.
