SHERVIN/E SHEIKH REZAEI

Shervin/e Sheikh Rezaei (b. 1994, Belgium/Iran) navigates the delicate interplay between the organic and the artificial, between the fluidity of nature and humanity's invasive reach. Her multimedia practice thrives where architecture dissolves into visual art, and rationality yields to the irrational and emotional. Moving from architecture to visual art, she explores the uncontainable through movement, organic materials, and the fleeting nature of memory. Her work spans pencil drawings, videos, sculptures, and installations, consistently balancing logic with intuition, control with self-reflection, always seeking the unexpected in an uneasy juxtaposition.
Sheikh Rezaei's art exists in the spaces between disciplines—architecture, visual arts, and philosophy—often probing themes of memory, identity, and the human experience. She blends mathematical precision with poetic thought, creating spaces that are both functional and symbolic. Transparent materials and mirrors often feature in her work, creating dialogues between the physical and emotional. Her recurring exploration of the duality between control and surrender reflects her introspective approach, inviting viewers to reflect on their own nature and their interactions with the world.

Shervin/e Sheikh Rezaei’s “Inhale Me” is part of a new series of works (that premiered at CC Strombeek) in which she questions the power and meaning of words, symbols, and contemporary power structures. The words are forceful, almost commanding, yet simultaneously demand submission. Phrases like ‘use me’ or ‘fear me’ could just as easily come from the mouths of lovers as from recent newspaper headlines. By taking these elements out of context and relocating them to the public space, an intimate message suddenly becomes highly political. While the original works reflect on power structures and the relationship between submission and authority on an interpersonal level, here our relationship with the city comes into focus. Is this a love letter to the city or a statement of ecological activism? Sheikh Rezaei leaves that question unanswered—and it is precisely in that openness that the strength of her work.
