A diversity of themes such as events, thoughts, social criticism, inner world and nature can be found in his works ‘Autumn’,‘Okra’,‘Changak‘ and Boabab Seeds.‘  In the series ‘Device’ (2017) he presents his artwork in the form of an installation. He encourages his audience to interact each time with a deeper approach to his artworks. Lahooti is a member of the Association of Iranian Sculptors, has fully engaged himself in many  projects and has organized various exhibitions for young and emerging artists.
