Unveiling Identity: Sara Madandar's "The Religious Mask"

Apricus Art Collection is honored to present "The Religious Mask," a powerful bronze sculpture by Iranian-American artist Sara Madandar. Based in New Orleans, Madandar uses her art to explore the complex themes of migration, cultural identity, and the human relationship with the body.

A Sculpture of Questions

"The Religious Mask" is a thought-provoking piece that invites contemplation on the nature of identity, belief, and the coverings we adopt – both physical and metaphorical. As a bronze sculpture, it possesses a weight and permanence that contrasts with the fluid and ever-changing experience of living between cultures, a central theme in Madandar's work. The mask itself raises questions: What does it conceal? What does it reveal? What roles do religion and cultural expectations play in shaping our sense of self?
