With a sensitive eye and consent-driven approach, Polès Farhang turns fleeting encounters into intimate, powerful portraits that reveal the humanity and complexity of women’s experiences.

From precise window latches to warped woodgrain floors, her acrylic canvases replicate and rearrange architectural elements, furniture, and objects, creating homes that feel both familiar and surreal. Wright’s meticulous eye and playful distortions reveal the artistry behind everyday spaces while prompting viewers to question the allure and unattainability of luxury living.
