Experience Sarrah Zadeh’s latest artwork, where every detail unfolds a story. These works are an invitation to pause, reflect, and connect with the layers of meaning woven into each piece.
Innocence reflects the weight of societal judgments placed on women’s bodies, sparked by a conversation with the artist’s daughter about restrictive dress codes and their lasting impact.
Rendered in a soft, pastel-like palette, the colors evoke the innocence of childhood while intentionally softening the harshness of the narrative.
Drawing from shared stories across generations, the artwork examines how clothing choices shape perceptions and treatment, inviting viewers to reflect on the stories we impose on women and their bodies.
This mandala, a symbol of wholeness and harmony, delves into the tension between systemic oppression and the yearning for freedom.
The interplay of serene blue and violet tones with the mandala’s circular form evokes peace and balance, offering a contemplative contrast to the weight of its subject.
Uncaged reflects the struggle between liberation and constraint, inspired by the social movement sparked by Mahsa Amini’s death. The braided motifs symbolize freedom, particularly through the unveiling of women’s hair, while the outer motifs of women in hijabs echo the weight of imposed limitations.
Through this work, Sarrah Zadeh seeks to spark dialogue about freedom, resilience, and the enduring human spirit.
