Siavash Tehrani

Siavash Tehrani hand-hammers sheet copper into thin, curved panels, then suspends them from near-invisible steel cable so each piece hangs a few centimeters clear of the wall. A door opening down the hall, a person walking past, the building's own ventilation — any of it is enough to set the panels turning slowly on their cables. He tunes the weight and balance point of every form specifically so it never settles into stillness, treating equilibrium as a design flaw to be engineered out rather than a goal. The oxidized surface, worked with heat and acid before the piece leaves the studio, keeps shifting color as the light and the angle change. His sculptures reach ATG through a screened export partner in Iran who has handled logistics and customs documentation for his metalwork since the studio's early years.

Siavash Tehrani builds suspended copper forms that shift when a room's air moves — sculpture engineered to never fully settle.

He builds toward instability on purpose — a finished piece that ever fully stops moving is a piece he considers unresolved.
