Anahid Boghosian

My need to create has been an intricate part of who I am for as long as I can remember. I try to utilize reclaimed materials and found objects to compose works of art creating a reality that celebrates imperfection. My intent is to build points of nostalgia to start the conversation between the viewer and the piece.
