Description: With a rounded form and a serene, smiling face, Smiling Vessel blurs the line between sculpture and object. Its textured papier-mâché body and expressive ears lend a gentle character, inviting viewers to imagine stories behind the figure. The open top suggests a functional ambiguity, perhaps a container, a character, or simply a presence.

About the Artist: Nadia Motaghi (b. 1994) is a multidisciplinary artist working across sculpture, illustration, and painting. With an academic background in English literature and graphic design, as well as a diploma in graphic design, her work reflects a sharp visual literacy rooted in both language and form.
