About The Artwork

The figure is hand cast in urethane resin and painted with acrylic paints. The piece is pretty light and unbreakable. The stand comes with the figures. Inspired by the Mesopotamian Tell Asmar Hoard (Early Dynastic I-II, ca. 2900–2550 BC), Shahrzad “came up with this idea because we all are together in this wondrous life. I look at people's faces every day, trying to put myself in their shoes to feel their pain, sorrow, hope, joy, and vulnerability. People feel wonder when they are happy, sad, joyful, or terrified. They look surprised when they are in pain, or if they lost someone or something. I believe there is a common feeling behind all of our emotions, the feeling of wonder and awe. These figures are hairless and genderless and their bodies are simplified to focus on their faces. Each one of them talks in a different level of amazement.”

Shahrzad Amin is an Iranian-Canadian award-winning interdisciplinary artist with more than twelve years of diverse experiences as a sculptor, multimedia and installation artist, model designer, stop-motion artist, and potter. She creates socially engaging art pieces that invoke thoughts and encourage conversations about socio-cultural issues that surround us. Shahrzad makes original pieces that truly move people to feel intense emotions. Her interest in fundamental social issues such as democracy, human rights, equality, and migration has informed an art practice examining diasporic and socio-cultural subjectivities through the lenses of art practice, sensory ethnographic filmmaking, architectural design, gender, and language. Her works highlight a social openness and necessity for global international connectivity, by applying the historical eastern architectural figures such as arch bridges as a metaphor for overcoming cultural distances. She obtained a BFA from Tehran University of Art in 2010 and a MFA from OCADU in 2020.
