Artistic career.
Mohammadi is known for creating sculpture, installations, and public interventions. Her work features unconventional materials, such as halva, concrete, gum, clay, and soap, which she manipulates through casting, carving, layering, and encasing. By working with large quantities of a single material, she emphasizes its inherent properties to explore weight, texture, and transformation. Her spatial installations balance fragility and solidity, using materiality to evoke both physical presence and emotional resonance.
Her work is rooted in personal and cultural memory, drawing from experiences of childhood, everyday life, and Afghan and Dutch heritage to create sculptural tributes that bridge individual narratives and collective histories. Her approach is informed by anthropology, material studies, and architectural history. She has created public art installations included If You Know, You Know, De Appel, Amsterdam (2024), which was created in collaboration with De Appel's Young Curators Program and LEVS Architecten as a collective artwork co-authored by participating teenagers. She also created Concrete Exchange (2022), two large-scale concrete sculptures of a teacup that is common in Afghan households and its negative space, serving as a platform for community exchange and dialogue on materiality and tradition.
Music career.
