Ghazale Moqanaki

As an interdisciplinary artist, I experiment with various mediums, including sound, animation, ceramics, illustration, and puppetry. My work often incorporates light, shadows, illusion, figurative sculptures, puppets, dolls, mechanisms, craft making, video and animation. I'm drawn to stories about monsters, the power of storytelling, and how myths and narratives relate to our physical experiences.
