The Sea Knows

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 balance, stairs climbed by silent lips, and pieces moving across a chessboard. Each form reflects the artist’s life journey, transforming memories of pain and fragmentation into colors and gestures that evoke overcoming, identity, and the pursuit of happiness. From any angle, the work invites us to explore its depth, movement, and fragile balance, like the sea that inspires its name.
