Character 1

Doval-Pa

2024

During my studies of Persian mythology, I found an interesting figure named Doval-Pa. He is a jinn with the upper body of a human, while his legs are long, strap-like, and twisting. According to Iranian legends, Doval-Pa pretends to be poor and helpless to get the attention of passersby. Once he captures the interest of a traveler, he asks them to carry him, give him food or water, or take him home. But as soon as the traveler lifts him, Doval-Pa wraps his long legs around them like tendrils, clings to them like a parasite, and enslaves them.

Character 2

Um Khazra wa Al-Leif

2024

During my studies of Persian mythology, I learned about a creature from Shadegan County, Khuzestan Province, called “Um Khazra wa Al-Leif” (meaning “the one with branches and leaves”). She appears as an old woman with long hair resembling palm fronds, which cover her body. According to legend, Um Khazra wa Al-Leif kidnaps children in the palm groves.

I worked on a project for Avabsir, a company that produces CCTV cameras. In this short animation, I took on the role of character designer .
