Ms. Atigheh's artistic philosophy "celebrates the freedom of the human spirit to express its
emotions." Her work is sometimes monumental in scale, sometimes highly personal. The simple elegance of her sculpture is ideally suited to Ms.
Atigheh's goals. She hopes to incorporate her work into public places. "I would like my sculptures to invite people to approach, touch and be one with my work,
and therefore one with my soul."
