STATEMENT
Creating and transferring knowledge has always been the most honorable mission of humans for me. I dreamed of a harmonious exchange of consciousness between the artist and the audience. Artwork should dissociated from any craft immediately.
The objects had to raise awareness on all social matters; sociology and ethics, identity, politics/autocracy, manipulated realities, religious dogma, corruption, status quo, commoditization, hypocrite success, self-confrontation, liberties and equal rights, instead of being decorative.
