Artwork Description

My artwork “Heechestan” which simply means “nothingness” has been inspired by a very deep mystical concept in Rumi’s (Mevlana’s) poems. It is the land of nudity, where face masks do not exist. In other words, Heechestan is the kingdom territory of eternal union.

“I bared my body, she consigned her soul, To reach the ultimate union, in such a graceful whole”, (Poem by Rumi)

Artist Bio

Sara Sohrabian is a multidisciplinary artist who lives and works in Sydney (Gadigal Country). Born in Tehran, Iran, in 1989, she holds a Master of Art from UNSW Art & Design and a Graduate Diploma in Education.

Her practice spans painting, drawing, photography, printmaking, and mixed media, moving fluidly across disciplines according to conceptual intent. She often integrates these approaches within a single work, combining materials and processes to explore how form and meaning can be expanded beyond medium-specific boundaries.

Sohrabian’s work engages with themes of selfhood, spirituality, femininity, and belonging, shaped by experiences of displacement, migration, and cultural memory. Drawing on her Iranian heritage and lived experience in Australia, her practice considers how identity is formed and re-formed across shifting cultural and geographic contexts.

Through layered visual and material languages, her work reflects on the relationship between memory, place, and the construction of personal and collective narratives.
