Sara Rastegarpouyani is an Iranian interdisciplinary artist, Sculptor, and educator. Since she immigrated to the US in 2015, being exposed to constant changes and uncertainties has created the core concept of her interdisciplinary practices. Through her temporary text-based installations, she explores the ambiguous semantic spaces that words may induce in contemporary social and political platforms. The idea of temporariness and ephemeral quality is emphasized to explore the contradiction between our expectations and assumption of a statement or concept and what is being performed, perceived, and understood in reality. This is achieved through using temporary materials such as soil, dust, and glass powder to create large-scale floor installations directly on the floor with no binder to hold the materials in place, and then to leave them to be exposed to different natural forces and human interactions in order to allow change, distortion, and ultimately disappearance over time.
