Firouzeh Saremi Far, a 3rd-year student in OCAD University's Sculpture/Installation major and Drawing & Painting minor program, has received the TOAF 2023 Best of Student Award. As part of the Best of Student Award, the chosen artist gets the opportunity to exhibit work at Artscape Youngspace.

The 2023 judge was Karen Carter, Co-Founder and Director of Black Artists’ Network and Dialogue (BAND), who noted Firouzeh’s work “has strong links to migration and settlement in her works while also commenting on the impact of colonialism in shaping the Canada we know today.”

Firouzeh Saremi Far is a 3rd year student in OCAD University Sculpture/Installation major, Drawing & Painting minor. Firouzeh explores human emotions through art. With certificates from Tehran and Dubai, her creations reflect concerns about global issues like climate change, human rights, and societal struggles. Currently, Firouzeh is working on a sculpture collection, "Shattered Harmony," and completing four painting-sculpture collections: "Epic Of Khorramshahr," “Discovery," “Harmony," and "Parts Of Me." Her work focuses on abstract themes that address profound human matters.
