Farhan Rizuwan

Farhan Rizuwan’s practice investigates the anthropomorphic and emotional possibilities embedded within ordinary objects. By deconstructing and reconstructing chairs, he transforms familiar forms into subtly animated structures that echo human gestures, postures, and psychological states. His sculptures often operate as stand-ins for the body, using the language of curvature, tension, and balance to explore themes of identity, presence, and the evolving nature of human experience. Guided by an interest in movement and transformation, Farhan positions the chair as a metaphor for lived reality, an object that shifts between function and expression as it is reshaped by narrative and emotion. Through these sculptural interventions, he invites viewers to reconsider their relationship with the everyday and to reflect on how objects can embody the complexities of human existence. Majoring in sculpture, Farhan ’s practice centres on reimagining everyday furniture, most notably chairs, as poetic sculptural forms. His work explores anthropomorphism, human identity, and emotional experience by transforming ordinary objects into metaphors of the body and its gestures.
