self-identity
Soody Sharifii is an Iranian/American artist based in Houston. Her work primarily deals with the paradoxes and contradictions inherent in living between two cultures. In many of her series, she has explored the notion of identity and what it means to participate in two cultures from both an outsider’s and an insider’s perspective. Through different series, she investigates this concept as it applies to Moslem youth in Iran and US and their emerging concept of self-identity specifically how they accommodate modernity and the indulgences and exploration specific to youth within a very traditional society.
Soody Sharifi has been exhibited nationally and internationally since 2004 and has been collected by Museum of fine arts Houston and Portland.

os meus heróis e os meus livros
"...
Senhor, permite que algo permaneça,
alguma palavra ou alguma lembrança,
que alguma coisa possa ter sido
de outra maneira,
não digo a morte, nem a vida,
mas alguma coisa mais insubstancial.
Se não para que me deste os substantivos e os verbos,
o medo e a esperança,
a urze e o salgueiro,
os meus heróis e os meus livros?

digging a little deeper
there's no end to a circle...and no, you're not walking the same steps again,
you are really digging a little deeper each time
you are really digging a little deeper each time
