Yalda Bozorg received her MA in ceramics in the Cardiff School of Art and Design in 2016. She holds a Bachelor of Applied Art from the University of New Brunswick and a diploma in fine craft from the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design. She admires technology as much as she loves art. Social and cultural issues are concepts that inspire her, so she is trying to find a way to merge technology with art, and create a new language for delicate subjects like violence and war, religion and women, fear and pain, in the most tender way.

“As a child, I have experienced one of the greatest horrors that humans have created for each other: War. I never noticed how much it is still living inside me, until the day I decided to pick violence, fear and pain as my subject for the MA program. I started researching these phenomena as an observer and the more I studied them the more I realized that I relate to them, more than I expected. Making ceramic pieces based on my research and soul searching has helped me understand and connect deeper with myself.”
