Artist Statement:

"Stucco, wood and mirror work were the great specialties of Iranian masonry masters. Facade and interior decoration were central to Iranian art and architecture. In Iran, the sacred architecture is majestic and precious. When you stand in front of their facades with carved mirrors, all the beauty of their traditional design changes and evolves according to the image of the person who is reflected and which you must try to identify through the scattered fragments of carved mirrors.

​

Architecture brings you to the introspection of oneself. Military weapons, tanks, cannons, and fighter planes also look magnificent with their abstract and robust forms. However, their function is to reduce the human body to death and to shred bodies. My idea of making "weapons covered by cut mirrors" and sublimate them to give them another dimension, preferably in full size, with a cover of hand-cut mirrors reminiscent of ancient sacred buildings.

​

The sacred vision of the war has been so destructive to me and to my country and the world in which I live. In fact, these works of art are the visualization of everyday events in my own life. It's unconscious, and I prefer to look backwards as I look back at my life, especially religion, to see them attractive. This discrepancy between a magnified object and the original subject of the work is simply magnificent at an average distance, and this incoherence between tenderness and beauty against danger is the same incoherence with which I live."
