Artist Statement
I’m Fariba Shafiee (Farsi: فریبا شفیعی), a Los Angeles-based character artist and worldbuilder.
I use multimedia 3D platforms, including video games, to create immersive worlds where
present sociopolitical realities converge with contingent futures.
Worldbuilding in my work draws from lived experience in a surveillance state and the
liminality of immigration, shaping constructed environments where dislocation and
entanglement become tangible.
Each world unfolds around a digital being, whether a jinn from Islamic cosmology,
a healer, or a cyborg. Their presence drives the narrative, while their agency draws
the participant into the fabric of the world.
