Bozorg’s research is grounded in the belief that making is a form of knowing. Her studio practice engages clay, porcelain, copper, electroforming, and 3D printing as interconnected material languages. She observes how pressure, movement, and duration leave traces within objects, guiding the next stage of making. These material responses become metaphors for memory, trauma, fear, or slow change; experiences that imprint themselves on the body and return over time.
Her work draws from close listening and lived experience. Through interviews and conversations, Bozorg gathers personal narratives about emotional thresholds and transformative moments. She then turns to material form to hold these stories without reducing or oversimplifying them. Porcelain, with its tendency to return to earlier movements during firing, becomes an ideal medium for exploring memory’s persistence. When transitions occur too slowly for clay alone, she incorporates copper, electroformed elements, or digitally generated structures to extend her vocabulary.
Bozorg’s objects often appear calm at first glance, yet they contain subtle tensions; fine ruptures, delicate distortions, or impressions that suggest ongoing internal processes. Her approach is intuitive but deeply research-driven, engaging material as both collaborator and witness. She embraces unpredictability, allowing the material to reveal motions and stories that cannot be directed or controlled entirely.
In recent years, Bozorg has created exhibitions that invite viewers to hold or handle the work, constructing intimate encounters where object and viewers gently alter one another. These tactile exchanges reveal the fragility and resilience contained within each form, emphasizing the embodied nature of perception and emotional experience. Her work continues to evolve through an ongoing exploration of the relationship between making, memory, and the quiet intelligence of material.
Bozorg’s contributions to contemporary ceramics extend beyond her studio practice. She has presented her research internationally, collaborated with other artists and researchers, and contributed to ongoing conversations about materiality, making, and embodied knowledge. Her work reflects a rare sensitivity to both concept and craft, bridging academic inquiry and deeply personal artistic expression.
Within The Power of Objects, Bozorg’s work embodies the exhibition’s exploration of objects as carriers of emotional and psychological resonance. Her porcelain and mixed-material forms reveal how crafted objects can hold traces of lived experience, echoes of fear, change, and resilience. Through her material attentiveness and research-driven approach, Bozorg highlights the profound and impactful agency of objects as carriers of memory, connection, and transformation.
