Fatemeh Emdadian’s sculptures are grounded on the universal, existential human issues: living among others, emotional bonds, solitude, attachments and alienation, the burden in being born and giving birth, or being thrown into the world. However, these forms have been evolved within years inspired by the artist’s lived experience and maintain a highly personal feature. In her sculptural installations, the figures might be considered as parts of a whole composition, in close link to each other. Due to their large scale and fragmented composition, the sculptures make a multilateral connection with their environment: they stretch their parts, try to capture the surrounding atmosphere and vibrate the negative space between them.
