Silent Poultry Mixed Media Sculpture

This mixed media sculpture eloquently portrays the intricate volumes and explosive essence of human existence

 about this mixed media sculpture

The Silent Poultry mixed media sculpture by Sara Rahanjam is a captivating series of works featuring lips as the central form. Bronze legs emerge from the lips, creating a striking dialogue between stillness, expression, and movement. This surreal combination evokes vulnerability and motion, symbolizing how communication shapes action and restraint.

The mixed media sculpture explores the relationship between silence, speech, and the impact of language. It reflects a world shaped by global crises, where words hold amplified emotional and social weight. Inspired by pandemics, geopolitical unrest, and social upheaval, it examines human fragility through form. The work considers how language can both fracture and reconstruct meaning within unstable realities.

Red lips contrast with bronze legs, emphasizing the dual nature of communication and consequence. Words are positioned as forces that can generate constructive change or unintended destruction. The sculpture reflects how expression carries responsibility beyond its moment of utterance.

Central to Rahanjam’s vision is the idea that words initiate both metaphorical and physical movement. Bronze legs emerging from the lips symbolize actions set in motion by speech. They suggest that communication continues to exist beyond its spoken origin.

The lips represent the source of speech, silence, and unspoken intention. The legs represent the paths language creates through thought and consequence. This duality between expression and outcome forms a central conceptual tension.

Bronze legs introduce an unsettling yet powerful sense of extended agency. They visualize how speech transforms into movement, impact, and unfolding result. The work ultimately reflects on responsibility embedded within every act of communication.
