Overview

Working with sculpture, Samaneh Reyhani skilfully explores the duality of the bodily and the emotional ­represented by the tangible and the immaterial in her work. Materials like wood and stone are transformed beyond their inherent materiality, resulting in shapes and forms imbued with a visual poetry.
