Mandala, 2002
During the nine years of art study, I worked almost in all traditional materials and also explored the possibility of new and rather unconventional ones, for example water and plastic bags.
As I have already explained that objects are not mere things or pieces for me which are in need of manipulation by me as a so-called artist, but I respect their material manifestation. This respect may be seen irrational in the present context of rapid mass production and consumerism but this is the ideal which I have acquired every time I confront a piece of wood or stone.
Let’s see it this way, a tree which spent thirty or forty years in a forest is cut and goes through the process of weathering and other things, when it reaches to my table it transforms into a piece of flesh I am not capable of destroying it just for my self-glorification. It becomes necessary to have a dialogue which eventually is a process.
Most of my works have a strong relation with the places were they were created because the materials chosen for my works often I prefer from the surroundings were they are created and to be installed. There was a time when I liked to work with power tools but now I prefer more traditional ways, only in extreme need I opt for one.
