Working across performance, installation, video, and drawing, her practice explores the psychological and physical dimensions of identity, memory, displacement, and transformation. She uses tactile materials such as charcoal, clay, hair, in intuitive, ritual-based performances that navigate cycles of creation and destruction, vulnerability and resistance.

Through her practice, Asareh invites audiences into powerful spaces where ritual, the body, and raw materiality intersect—dissolving the boundaries between art and life, self and other, silence and expression.

P. S. Asareh Ebrahimpour wrote a poem for Force of Existence:
Force of Existence
There is no weight heavier than existence.
It presses against my skin like clay in my hands—soft, yet refusing to forget its shape.
I kneel into the mud.
It doesn’t ask me to.
And yet I go.
They say we are free.
But what kind of freedom bends you into a cycle of shaping and breaking, again and again?
I press.
I destroy.
I hold.
And still, the clay resists me—just as I resist myself.
Sometimes I think:
Maybe the clay is not the material.
Maybe I am.
Because every time I try to make something solid, it slips.
Like meaning.
Like memory.
Like love.
Like home.
Like myself.
And yet—I keep going.
Because even if everything is light, unbearably light,
this moment of touch is all I have.
