MAGNOLIA SUSPENDED | Illuminated Pearl Silk Wall Sculpture | HYPNOTIQ
An original contemporary sculptural artwork by Seattle artist Arian Lori-Amini, known professionally as HYPNOTIQ.
MAGNOLIA SUSPENDED transforms the female form into a contemporary symbol of resilience, freedom and self-definition, rooted in the artist's Persian and Iranian heritage.
The work. Mirrored purple Plexiglas and pearl silk-white magnolia forms bring reflection, memory and renewal into the same composition. The sculpture connects the delicacy of the flower with the strength of the female figure, creating a work that moves between beauty and resistance.
The meaning. The magnolia becomes a symbol of renewal and persistence, while the female form speaks to the ongoing struggle for women's autonomy in Iran. Rather than illustrate that struggle literally, the work translates it into material, reflection and sculptural form.
Materials and craft. Mirrored purple Plexiglas, pearl silk-white magnolia sculptural elements, 3D-printed sculptural elements, hand-finished components and mixed media.
For the collector. A compact wall or display sculpture for collectors drawn to contemporary Persian art, women-centered work, reflective materials and mixed-media sculpture with cultural meaning.
