Iranian sculptor brings artistic exchange to northeastern China

Ice artistry: Bridging cultures between two countries

HARBIN (China) - Iranian sculptor Mohammadmoslem Saeid has embarked on his first ever journey to Northeastern China since December 22, where his passion for art meets an exciting new challenge: ice sculpture. While known for his skills in wood and stone carving, Mohammadmoslem has recently expanded his craft to the icy medium. His visit to China is part of a broader effort to foster cross-cultural dialogue, and one of the highlights of his trip is participating in an ice sculpture competition in Changchun, which is not far from China's famous winter city of Harbin.
