Artist Statement
 
I’m Fariba Shafiee (Farsi: فریبا شفیعی), a Los Angeles–based character artist and worldbuilder with a background in architecture. I use multimedia 3D platforms, including video games, to create immersive worlds where present social and political realities converge with speculative futures.
Worldbuilding in my work draws from my lived experiences in a surveillance state and the dichotomies of immigration, shaping constructed worlds that reframe stories into new forms of cultural continuity.
Each world unfolds around a digital hybrid being, including jinns from Islamic mythology, healers, or cyborgs, through which the narrative takes shape. Their sense of agency invites audiences to shift from passive observation to active participation.
