Emma Khanafer works with sculpture, theater and film.

Khanafer is drawn to the bizarre sides of humanity and religious elements. She is highly inspired by the literature of Per Lagerkvist, who often wrote about his relationship with God. Religious themes appear in her work as they are filled with rich stories about humanity and the big questions of life.

In her art, she uses diluted concepts and imagery in a search for meaning.

The works almost always relate to text, whether self-written or fictional. Additionally, philosophical and psychological research on consciousness is a major source of inspiration in her creative process.
