Zahra Shahabi

Zahra Shahabi uses art and design as a means of addressing serious subjects and realizing these in her works in a technically skillful yet playful manner. Her affinity with various cultures and nature and her desire to critically investigate our perception motivate her to identify projects and tasks that align with her value system. She creates spaces that should trigger perception and initiate a process of rethinking in which purely human interests are subordinated to those of all living beings.

Her references to social and environmental subjects make Shahabi an artist who moves between many different cultures and contexts, works heuristically, and seeks to illustrate her findings using a wide range of techniques and media.
