The Kiss , 2020
40 x 60 in (h x w)

In my sculpture “THE KISS”, I fragmented the figurative sculpture of two lovers while they’re kissing each other. Showing the female body is also forbidden even as figurative sculpture in Iran, so I kept two feet to escape censorship, and let audiences interact with their imagination with their quality of love. Love in the time of the coronavirus reminds me of the prohibitions in Iran. At least temporarily, a kiss is no longer just a kiss. It has a dual meaning: Love and Fear (kissing is probably the most efficient way to spread the virus). It is so important to me to present this artwork in this crisis moment. This work is an experience of loss and presence like these days. It is all about hope and imagination.
