Statement:

Sahand Hesamiyan's new installation is on view as part of the Sharjah Islamic Arts Festival.

Sahand's practice explores contemporary sculptural directions, which take cues from Islamic and Iranian architecture. His works are primarily interactive.

They link science and geometry to the abstract nature of spirituality, which is a reflective attempt to discover the esoteric nature of Iranian culture through the dissection of its architectural form.

The Sharjah Islamic Arts Festival is an international artistic event specializing in Islamic arts, organized by the Cultural Affairs Department of the Sharjah Department of Culture.

It reflects the vitality of Islamic arts and their expressive depth as a universal artistic language.

Established in 1998, the Festival is dedicated to showcasing the achievements of Islamic art in its cultural and aesthetic dimensions, presenting each year a rich and diverse range of artistic forms.
