Golnaz Lavasani was born in April 1979 in Tehran
After obtaining a diploma in graphic design, she completed both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in industrial design at Tehran Azad University
At the age of 20, she chose Tai Chi as her professional sport, discovering that while she practices Tai Chi, she becomes one with nature
This special connection led Lavasani to explore the theme of nature in her artistic work. She said: I believe that the major possibility of art is reporting disaster in silence
Golnaz Lavasani creates installations and artworks that evoke the catastrophes of deforestation, acid rain, dust, air pollution and other cruel wounds inflicted on nature
Her images consist of objects from daily life, as she believes that everyday items have the capacity to convey specific meanings
Lavasani’s uncanny assemblings highlight the absence of regard for a healthy state of nature

.shared between every naitions

For decades, it has been a spiritual subject for painters, poets as well as
.authors and many artists.
Sky is where children can practice their magic and olders can dream about
.their future
.This beautiful sky is full of air which is invisible except when it is polluted

,We cut trees by our huge axes, remove soil to replace concrete in order to build buildings. Then we design our balconies with beautiful red flower pots
.We think that we bring nature to our homes which is not true
Hundreds of apartment plants can not work as a tree for our environment and of course For us. We are destroying nature by our hands
Red pots are the point of my design, they are the symbol of sarcastic happiness that we want to bring it in our homes
.When we stare on pots, the mirrors reflect our indifference as well as cruel job to the nature

By dumping the refuse generated by factories and households
Into bodies of water, not only man does not get rid of the pollutants
But also puts himself at the center of the destructive cycle
