About The Series
Passage is a series of wall relief sculptures by Mozhdeh Grayson exploring the shifting boundaries between painting and sculpture, the visible and invisible, and the familiar and unfamiliar. Through hand-shaped, curved and interwoven wooden forms, layered surfaces and hand-stamped words, the works extend beyond the wall, occupying a space between sculptural presence and pictorial surface.
An essential part of the series lies in the changing relationship between the sculptures, light and their surroundings. As daylight shifts, shadows move across the wall and the reliefs, continually altering their appearance and creating new compositions. Although the sculptures remain physically still, their presence is never quite the same. These transformations introduce an element beyond the artist's control, allowing light, time and space to participate in the work.
Moving between intention and unpredictability, Passage reflects on the ways things unfold beyond what can be anticipated or held in place. Each sculpture offers a different encounter with this ongoing movement, where what is seen is only part of what is present.
