He works with mixed media, metal, wood, and found objects, blending traditional techniques with experimental methods. His practice includes small-scale sculptures, intricate installations, and large-scale works that engage space and environment.\u003cbr data-start=\"530\" data-end=\"533\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKahfi’s sculptures explore human experience, memory, imagination, and the complex interaction between individuals and their surroundings. He often uses symbolic forms and textures to reflect cultural narratives and contemporary societal concerns. His work challenges viewers to question perception, environment, and the meaning embedded in everyday objects. Materiality is central to his practice, where contrasts between hard and soft, fragile and durable, create tension and harmony.\u003cbr data-start=\"1024\" data-end=\"1027\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKahfi’s process is meticulous, often involving layering, carving, and assembling multiple elements into cohesive sculptural forms. He emphasizes dialogue between space, object, and observer, allowing his works to transform with perspective and context. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis pieces have been shown in leading Iranian galleries, reflecting both aesthetic and conceptual innovation in sculpture.
