Over the past decade, I frequently traveled to cities and remote regions and locations on every continent and realized my environmental art projects. I move like a fish transgressing international borders. My environmental art projects, include the carving of rocks that can be found in many countries such as USA, England, Italy, Germany, Spain, France, China, South Korea,  Hungary,  Slovakia, Netherlands,   Greece,  Russia, Uzbekistan,  Tajikistan, Bangladesh, Finland, Lebanon, Syria,  Azerbaijan,  Sweden, Denmark,  United Arab Emirates,  Qatar,  Kuwait, Turkey, Switzerland, Serbia, South Africa, Austria,  ….and his homeland Iran.
Like a ritual, on many occasions, I dropped many of my stones carved with the image of fish and other creatures into rivers, canals, reservoirs and seas. Through this ritual action, I wish is to bring a better environment, for life and fertility for all mankind.
I have made large examples of cylinder seals adorned with my own carved designs. I then rolled these cylinder seals onto the surface of sand.  The results usually show a myriad harvest of living creatures adorning the beachfront or sand of the desert. It is my dream to increase the living creature who dying due to global warming and pollution. Raise of water or wind vanishings my images.
Most of my environmental art works created at Hormoz Island were paintings with organic colored earths. These colors do not pollute environment. I usually use red earth and make painting on portraits of people. I usually use red earth from Hormoz on portraits of people. 
I usually document my works. They are expressed through a variety of media and techniques, including carved stones, installations, performances, video, and web art and interactive pieces which require the participation of the general public.
