Ooooooooh! 3 (2026) by Sara Samsøe Moghaddas is a ceramic sculpture depicting an elongated human head in the midst of making a sound. Its heavy, yellow eyebrows hover above half-closed eyes, while the small, pinched mouth forms the exaggerated “oooooh” of the title. A tiny hat rests on the crown, adding a humorous detail to the figure's otherwise subdued expression. The pale, unevenly glazed surface gives the face a distinctive character, with traces of the artist's modelling visible throughout.
Exhibited as part of She-Devil at Innenkreis, the sculpture embraces the theatricality and exaggeration central to the exhibition. The figure's expression remains difficult to decipher, leaving the viewer to imagine what might have prompted its prolonged exclamation. Through humour and deliberate awkwardness, Moghaddas challenges expectations of feminine composure, allowing her character to exist without the need to appear pleasing or easily understood.
