Sarrah Han
BIO
Sarrah Han is an artist working with clay, born and raised in Toronto, Ontario. She expresses emotions through sculptural work and explores personal feelings of vulnerability, strength in fragility and growth which inspires her work.
She grew up very shy and timid around many people and have always hesitated to express certain emotions. Through explorations in both nature and colour as a metaphor, she draws inspiration from organic forms and aims to depict emotions in her sculptures.
CAPSTONE PROJECT
LIVING WITH COLOURS
Heightened feelings of vulnerability and fear inspire my work. I explore the ideas of growth in nature, colour as a metaphor for emotions, and how I can express deeper, more personal feelings visually. In this body of work, I dig deeply into my own experience, exploring forms that can express the conflicting sides of a person. Like most people, I am constantly changing. I express facets of my personality as a range of colours, fading, brightening, crystalizing, and persisting. Pushing against the boundaries of clay, and taking risks within the process mirrors moments when I had to push myself to stay strong when I felt like crumbling. The transformative nature of contemplating this tension within myself ultimately allows me to grow.
