A collection of work from Zara’s undergraduate career at RIT:

To quote Zara -

“My work explores the human form as an expression of the internal and external self. My work falls into two interconnected categories. The first, a fusion of three-dimensional form and two-dimensional figurative imagery. The second, an exploration of positive and negative body space. Both bodies of work portray my relationship with the world and its people while reflecting internally. I aim to depict the psyche of a figure and the simultaneous need to display and conceal emotions from the world.
    

Via figurative sculpture and imagery, I am conveyed through a stranger's face. Making these figures allows me to bare my soul while inviting the viewer to find their own experience or ideas in the piece. I work almost exclusively with the female form. It is not because I dislike the male form, merely that I resonate more with depictions of my own body. Consequently, many of the stories or symbols that I use as inspiration represent women.” - Zara

Upon graduating in 2019, Zara accepted the Artist in Residency position at Flower City Art Center. She is currently looking at MFA programs to continue her education.
