“The exploration of the human head is an ancient subject that continually evolves with the human condition and societal development. No one has the right to own this head. If there is fear, it is your fear within your head; if there is success, it is the success of your head. The idea is clear. Therefore, my recent works focus on the repetition of a single element from the beginning of my engagement with the head in a comedic manner.

I am deeply fascinated by the works of the Syrian artist Marwan Kassab-Bachi, whose influence is evident in the bodies, heads, and souls of the figures in my works. I also encountered the slender sculptures with large heads by Giacometti early on in my hometown, which had a significant impact on me.

The head is absent and still in its infinite transformations, serving as a repository of invisible visual memories.” Akram Zave 2024.
