Moreshin Allahyari is an Iranian media artist and activist living in the United States since 2007. Her work is thought-provoking, linking modernity with ancient tradition and re-interpreting the past in order to create a more feminine and complete future. In this video from National Geographic, she uses her 3D printing skills and research to create resin models of historical artwork destroyed by ISIS forces.
