Born in 1980 in Ahvaz, Dashti works in a variety of media, including photography and video, and received her MA in Photography from the Fine Art University.

She studied photography at the University of Tehran and graduated with an M.A. in 2005.^[3] During her studies and throughout her life, she noticed the impact the Iran–Iraq War had on her country. Dashti's earlier work looks at the lasting effects of the war on the people and the land.
