Hadieh’s works explore the tension between randomness, culture, and free will as three central forces shaping human experience and emotion. Drawing from her lived experiences of cultural displacement, migration, and motherhood, she investigates how meaning, hope, and narrative are constructed in response to forces that cannot be fully controlled. Her work reflects on agency, uncertainty, and the human desire to make sense of the unpredictable, asking whether choice is ever truly free or always shaped by chance and external conditions.

In her practice, Hadieh works through layered processes that combine chance-based abstraction with structured architectural forms. She introduces randomness through expressive washes and accidental marks, then draws hallways and thresholds as symbolic spaces in which order and meaning are imposed upon chaos. Transparent layers, light, and natural symbols such as trees operate as metaphors for hope and the ongoing attempt to construct meaning within uncertainty.
