/ About /
Dorsa Asadi is a ceramic artist Born in 1992 in Tehran, Iran. Her ceramic sculptures combine local references, such as the aesthetics of Iranian paintings and tiles, with contemporary subject matter such as gender, identity, environmental issues, and narratives that have shaped paradigms throughout history. She fabricates myths based on frequent motives in mythology across the world, for instance, the duality and superpowers of twins, fertility, sacrifice, and death, in order to make her narrative installations.
