Scripting Existence
2023
Words breathe life into our world, shaping its contours with vivid colors and profound meanings. They envelop our surroundings, their voices resonating, and their essence tangible. Each word possesses a unique structure, sometimes soft and supple, other times dry and rough, delicately crafting its message. This intricacy guides us, revealing the depth of its expression.
Inspired by two Persian words, attention has been paid to their form, apart from the meaning they convey, in understanding how they shape and encompass the world around us. Alone or in harmony, they create a symphony of understanding, each word a universe waiting to be explored. The hidden universes within each word reveal, providing a window into the intricate depths of human expression.
Inflatable Turrets
2023
Tower-tombs exemplify the rich heritage of Eastern memorial and high-rise architecture, showcasing impressive heights and urban scale, as well as intricate memorial elements and geometric designs. These structures, found in different periods of Eastern (Iranian) architecture, are typically situated on circular or polygonal bases and crowned with conical or spherical domes. Crafted using specialized clays and bricks, these tombs possess a unique quality: their materials naturally adapt to climate changes, becoming sturdier and more compact during rainy seasons, thus safeguarding against vulnerability and erosion. This ingenious feature allows the tombs to harmonize with their natural surroundings, preventing gradual decay. as if they are breathing with their natural environment. Inspired by their distinctive attributes, I embarked on a creative journey to reimagine their essence in a contemporary context. Drawing from their resilient nature, I envisioned designing them as inflatable buildings, fusing tradition and innovation to create a harmonious architectural expression.
Contemporary Ancestors
2022
The following collection is the result of an activity that I started on ancient Persian motifs in 2016, and continues to these days. I was looking to build a bridge between the past and the present. I selected forms and motifs of different periods of Persian Empire, each of them carries simple and complex concepts.
I used pottery vessels as the most primitive man-made objects to convey these messages in my work. Pottery vessels were one of the most widely used objects in the daily life of our ancestors. They also used it as means of conveying messages and portraying their daily beliefs and stories.This growing project is just a part of my adventures in this mysterious world. This is a study, research, and art project which examines ancient motifs and beliefs and how they find their way into different cultures and civilizations.
Hope Of Glory
2022
This collection is a picture of the beliefs, hopes and social actions of all of us.
And how we interact with our surroundings, which is depicted in different geographical environments.
They are descriptions of the modern man life with all its complexities. Sometimes we forget who we are and what our purpose in life is on this planet.
Beyond The Shapes
2022
This project is focused on the representation of Eastern culture with patterns and concepts that have entered the digital world from the heart of tradition, culture, and history and have come out of their two-dimensional form and have taken a physical form. It is as if they have taken on new life in a space between two different worlds affected by the past and the future, and are trying to communicate with the digitized world around them.
Mysterious Gardens
2021-2023
The captivating beauty of Eastern old paintings and the intricate architecture of the Eastern inspired this collection. To truly understand the depth and complexity of these paintings, one must look beyond the surface and discover the hidden meanings contained within. The pieces in this collection are intended to transport the spectator to a world that is both familiar and otherworldly, with elements that appear out of place but are flawlessly in harmony. Houses may emerge in unexpected places, animals and plants may interact in ways that test our perceptions, and strange objects may hint at yet-to-be-discovered mysteries. These images represent the human experience, with its attempts to make sense of the world and bring order out of chaos. We, like the ancient painters of the East, are creators, weaving the threads of our imagination together to create a universe that is distinctly ours.
The collection's synthesis of Eastern artistic and architectural practices, combined with the transformative force of digital technology, results in a universe that is both timeless and contemporary.
