Abdollahi, Sorour

Lives in Vancouver, BC

Artist Statement

 Sorour Abdollahi’s work deals with capturing societal change as reflected in the urban environment in relation to one’s internal landscape. Abdollahi explores themes of continuous transformation and displacement of spaces, as experienced by individuals and communities, depicted through fading and emerging landscapes. The work also reflects personal memory of place and depictions of internal landscape, where she draws upon her own lived experience as an immigrant artist practicing in East Vancouver, coping with the changing environment of her past and present.
