Description: The Antlered Spirit merges human presence with animal form, presenting a surreal figure crowned with natural branches. Its elongated face, hollow mouth, and glowing eyes radiate an otherworldly aura—half guardian, half apparition. Balancing fragility with strength, the sculpture suggests myth and ritual, evoking archetypes of wisdom and wilderness. The raw papier-mâché texture reinforces its primal character, while the branching antlers connect the piece to cycles of growth and renewal.

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, her practice explores the poetic relationship between material, form, and narrative. Motaghi has led visual arts workshops and exhibited her works in solo and group shows across the Middle East. Her creations often blur the line between functional object and symbolic figure, transforming simple materials into carriers of memory and meaning.
