Ahmadi’s work in sculpture examines subconscious thought, transformative experiences, and the healing from personal and collective trauma. Her work engages with the suppressed aspects of the ego while exploring themes of alienation, power, and gender. Experiences of displacement from an early age have brought a profound encounter with the loss of cultural anchors, producing a complex and often confusing relationship to identity. This tension drives Ahmadi’s search for understanding through form and deliberate detachment, constructing fully realized, self-contained worlds where intimate and symbolic narratives unfold. Ultimately forming her own evolving mythology.
Ahmadi’s sculptures operate as autonomous environments, they are recognizably human yet capable of existing entirely on their own terms. Their material presence and symbolic language translate internal experiences into tangible, immersive encounters, reflecting personal journeys and universal psychological landscapes. By navigating the nexus of trauma, desire, and self-exploration, Ahmadi creates sculptural forms that are intimate, transformative and capable of sustaining their own reality.
Ahmadi (1993, Mazar-i-Sharif, Afghanistan) is based in Berlin. She completed her BA at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague in 2022 and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague in 2021
