About The Artwork

These figures are hand cast in urethane resin and painted with acrylic paints. They are pretty light and unbreakable. The stand comes with the figure. “Witnesses” is inspired by statues known collectively as the “Tell Asmar Hoard” that are famous for having wide eyes and a sense of humble attentiveness. The clean simplicity of these figures offers a vast space in which to push our mind. We can see a deep innocence, and compassionate gaze in their eyes that never force us to venture too deeply but, rather, leaves it entirely up to us as to how far in us might like to travel. Also, by sculpting Witnesses, I place myself in other people’s eyes, challenging my own belief systems, feeling their pain, sorrow, hope, joy, loss, and vulnerability. “Witnesses” are small simplified figures, standing or sitting in specific poses, all emphasize on their faces. I tried to present a variety of emotions, changing their facial expressions with minimum change in details. My sculptures don’t have a specific identity and gender, rather they are symbolic representations of different types of people who are conveying their feelings of what they are witnessing in this wondrous life. Their facial expression, astonished look, and their wide eyes show their reactions.

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.
