Statement:

"Mantra",  for me is the power of repetition.

Repetition that creates a deep and sublime space in every beat.

This collection is not just a visual representation of Iranian architectural patterns, but an inner journey into the silent layers of my mind and soul. ///

In these works, bricks are no longer just architectural materials for me, but are arranged together like syllables of a sacred word.

This repetition, for me, is not for the purpose of stillness, but for discovering the inside and understanding harmony.

The colors in this collection are more than just tools of expression for me; they are a way to invite silence and concentration.

Dark colors sometimes awaken inner peace and depth in me, and sometimes create a heavy and ambiguous mood, a thin line between contemplation and anxiety.

Alongside them, bright and vibrant colors reveal the flow of my emotions and inner movement.

Every color and shade is an attempt to reach meaning from my inner experiences.

For me, "Mantra"  is not just a display of forms; it is an inner experience.

Through colors and forms, these works reveal a hidden meaning from within me - a meaning that can only be reached with a focused and reflective gaze.

In this journey, I am not seeking an external form, but rather an internal form that, in this repetition, will lead me to discover myself.

For me, every stroke of the pen, like every mental repetition, is a step towards awareness and harmony.

The creation of these works is an exercise in form and color; an attempt to find a balance between stillness and movement, inner turmoil and outer peace.

I have not created this collection to simply recreate, but to understand the depth of meaning hidden in each pattern and color.

Each work is a step into my inner self, a place where only in it can I achieve profound discovery.
