2025 | Transformation
A key aspect of René Saheb’s practice is the reformation and transformation of traditional motifs. Through her work, she reshapes cultural symbols to mirror a generation that no longer follows inherited rules but instead charts its own path through a rising collective consciousness. By deconstructing and reimagining these forms, Saheb offers a visual language for a world in transition—one where identities, traditions, and social structures are constantly evolving in response to the complexities of the present.

2022 | Ode To Spring بهاریه
Here the long-laboring Earth at last gives birth. From apparent death, a new and lovely world is born; Below the desert’s dusty floor, the jacinth imprisoned lies. The stony wilderness so bleak and bare, in ageless patience broods, aware of a life within, the promise of fertility and abundance. Ever longing for deliverance. The world at last reveals its destiny.

This collection was made using broken utensils that were discarded in a pottery class due to a crack or minor fault and sometimes because they were not claimed.
