Maybe Sadeghi’s recent works on paper call upon memories of queer intimacy, corporeality and subtle indulgence. In the past, they have also explored ritual, transcendence, and play through collections of ceramics objects, installations and video/performance. Raised in Iran, they currently live and work out of New Jersey.
