Mojgan Habibi’s work explores notions of movement and change. She aims
to express aspects of human spirituality through ceramic sculptures.
Her practice examines elements of infinity in the movement of the spiral form to represent change, transformation and hope. The expression of movement is enhanced through grouped installations that play with illusions of movement and stillness.
Mojgan is inspired by the thirteenth century poet Rumi and the spiritual
dance of the Whirling Dervishes.
