The sea knows it

Ania Sabet – British-Iranian artist. Polystyrene
XIII International Sculpture Symposium – Puerto del Rosario – 2022

This sculpture, conceived as a self-portrait, combines figurative and surreal elements: a beach ball suspended in equilibrium, stairs up which silent lips ascend, and pieces that move on a chessboard. Each form reflects the artist’s life trajectory, transforming memories of pain and fragmentation into colors and gestures that evoke self-improvement, identity and the pursuit of happiness. From any angle, the work invites us to explore its depth, movement and precarious balance, like the sea that inspires its name.
