SeungWon Jang’s practice reimagines the relationship between individuals, their bodies, and the spaces they inhabit. Jang’s work explores coexistence through the intersection of body, technology, and ecology. Through installation, the artist constructs hybrid ecosystems where fragmented bodies are assembled, dissolved, and reconfigured into interconnected terrains that reflect fluidity, transformation, and shared existence. A Habitat in Emergence engages with city structures and ecology to create hybrid ecosystems. Each terrain is built, dismantled and reassembled from the same wooden sheets, forming an interconnected environment. One terrain, The Underwater Palace of the Dragon King , draws from Korean folktales in which organs separate, and beings shift between animal, plant and human forms. Within this context, Jang constructs a new terrain of inter-objective systems shaped by the interplay of diverse conditions.
Setareh Hajivandi is an emerging artist whose practice bridges traditional Persian craftsmanship with contemporary expression. Influenced by Persian cultural heritage and her mother’s handwoven Qashqai rugs, Hajivandi’s work reinterprets intricate motifs as luminous contemporary sculptures. Her practice seeks to honour tradition while offering new perspectives on its transformation through light. Woven Light: A Reflection of My Mother is inspired by the flowing patterns of Hajivandi’s mother’s handwoven Qashqai Shiraz carpet. The work transforms glass and mirrors into a woven reflection of the past. Composed of 2,288 hand-cut mirror pieces, each meticulously shaped and arranged, the installation echoes the carpet’s intricate geometry and organic motifs. The interplay between mirrors and light creates a portal that evokes maternal presence, carrying the essence of home and heritage.
Shaz Fard’s multidisciplinary practice merges photography and painting to examine emotional and psychological tension beneath surface appearances. Rooted in staged still lifes and cinematic composition, Fard employs dramatic lighting, saturated colour, and symbolic objects to create images suspended between illusion and reality. His work explores materialism, desire, and the residue of unseen narratives, revealing both the seduction and unease within contemporary imagery. American Death is a cinematic series of staged photographic still lifes exploring the psychological residue of the American Dream. Drawing on 1960s–70s editorials, mid-century glamour and noir cinema, the work reconstructs cultural iconography through a contemporary lens, exposing contradictions of late-capitalist desire. Candy-coloured tableaux juxtapose glamour with instruments of death, where violence and beauty blur.
Sheena Randerwala is a British artist whose work explores healing, transformation, and the relationship between humanity and nature. Rooted in daily walks and meditation, Randerwala’s practice reflects on ecological fragility, the feminine principle, and the balance between control and surrender. Working with charcoal and pastel, she creates large-scale, textured compositions that merge realism and abstraction. New Wave is a large-scale charcoal and pastel drawing. Forms are built, erased and redrawn through a slow physical process until they suggest a wave in motion or paper folding in on itself. Inspired by the idea of Prakriti, understood in Indian philosophy as the source of manifestation and the object of experience, the work reflects on the tension between movement and stillness, showing how form emerges from quiet materials.
