Shabnam Faraee

Shabnam Faraee works with pattern, imagery, and craft, with storytelling at the center of her practice. Her work often has a political foundation and is inspired by fables & stories. Through patterns and ornaments, she explores how forms move across time and space, and how human migration leaves traces in materials and form.
A recurring aspect of her work is the merging of different cultural visual languages, where traditional forms from Iran encounter and are reshaped within a Swedish context.
