Venus - ceramic

This piece juxtaposes the iconic voluptuous form associated with early human art with the powerful, naturalistic head of a hippo (for its vulnerability and population decline due to human-wildlife conflict), creating a striking dialogue between primal human expression and the raw power of the natural world.

Rudbe - glazed ceramic

Inspired by the mythological female figure in the epic of Shahname, Rudabe; she is a Persian princess and mother of Rostam.
