Ooooooooh! 1 (2026) by Sara Samsøe Moghaddas is a ceramic sculpture depicting a human head with an exaggerated, almost theatrical expression. Its heavy eyelids and small, rounded mouth suggest a moment of surprise, pleasure or disbelief, leaving the emotion deliberately ambiguous. The roughly textured, pale surface contrasts with the playful details of striped ears and a turquoise hat on top of the head.


Presented as part of She-Devil at Innenkreis, the work engages with the exhibition's exploration of femininity as performance. Its exaggerated facial features recall the expressive language of caricature, embracing humour and the grotesque rather than conventional ideals of beauty. The open mouth becomes particularly suggestive in this context, allowing the figure an expression that is difficult to categorise or contain. Through this ambiguity, Moghaddas offers a playful challenge to expectations of how femininity should look and behave.
