Maedeh Asgharpour explores the psychological aspects of processing displacement, migration, and the emotional void of feeling uprooted. Through her work, the artist expresses the sentiments and challenges rooted in her experience as an immigrant using narrative that is both ambiguous and obscure at first glance, immersing the viewer in an atmosphere of wonderment and possibility.   

Inspired by Asgharpour's experience of leaving her home country of Iran, a series of poems and short writings, The Symphony of My Life, forms the foundation for her visual narratives. Exploring similarities between a bird’s migration with her personal journey as an immigrant, the artist also incorporates fish as a recurring element representing guidance, support, and unexpected assistance in moments of uncertainty. These emblems are not merely observational subjects; they function as symbolic figures navigating instability, adaptation, and persistence – reflecting her lived experience of migration. 

Utilizing a combination of painting and printmaking, Asgharpour brings a layered approach to her creative process – creating a unified visual language through which she tells her story.
