Sahar Jamili seeks to reconcile an internal split and assert an insistence on being oneself, an identity composed of fragments. The oversized chandelier draws on a cultural tradition in which large chandeliers are displayed in living rooms as symbols of wealth and status. By amplifying its scale, Jamili both embraces and reclaims this symbol, turning it into a powerful expression of presence, complexity, and belonging. The work becomes a way of reclaiming space in society and reimagining the outsider’s position as something expansive and deeply valuable, rather than marginal.
