Description

Raya (from Soraya) is a monolithic porcelain sculpture that embodies the essence of femininity, strength, and grounded presence — both the Holding and the Held, a celebration of sisterhood. Hand-sculpted for the exhibition F is for Fem, its organic, curvaceous form evokes multiple readings: a seated figure, a rooted presence, or a vessel for growth and reflection.

The hollow interior adds resonance, inviting contemplation of space, form, and the quiet power of being held and holding. Raya celebrates the poetic interplay between material, body, and identity, honoring imperfection and the tactile beauty of porcelain.

About LYT Studio Visit Showroom →

Lili Yas Tayefi is an Iranian-Canadian designer, educator, and interdisciplinary artist whose abstract sculptures unearth an intuitive process reflecting her inner emotional and spiritual journey, often exploring themes of femme advocacy, healing, and self-empowerment. With extensive experience in handcraft and a background in local, biodegradable material science, Lili’s practice, LYT Studio, honours 'feel first' and precision-led philosophies, revealing how they intersect. Her practice incorporates contemporary ceramic sculpture and clay 3D printing, alongside filmmaking, painting, and printmaking. Embedded with duality, Lili's works invite an exploration of identity, intersectional feminism, and the reclamation of her culture. Over the past 15 years, she has coordinated and curated group exhibitions, and exhibited internationally at notable galleries and museums, including Museo d'Historia de Barcelona, Arts Santa Monica, Contemporary Calgary, the Museum of Contemporary Art Calgary, Center for Contemporary Printmaking, and Caroun Gallery, among others.
