" As an artist, one does not learn a craft but life;
this then transforms the work."
this then transforms the work."
Marc Chagall
God has given us two eyes, two ears, two legs, two hands and one mouth. I think He wanted us to see, to listen, to act and to make twice as much as we talk. Thus I have chosen to observe and experience my surroundings and articulate them through the art of making.
My art is the fruit of a vital urge. An urge to transform uncertainty into faith. Studying in a foreign country and being alienated from things that I've been familiar with is a challenging adventure. I have been filled with excitement, curiosity and boldness. At times, apprehension, anxiety and loneliness have also haunted me. I took in the mixed emotion with sorrow and tears, strongly embraced its intensity, revolved around it and finally realized many aspects of it with peace and thanksgiving. I wanted to make what I've discovered explicit in an unexpected form.
Human beings have never ceased to adorn the body with any imaginable possibilities. My intention is not to glamorize the body with my work; instead the human body is the only place where my work can reside. Our body is a piece of art, a tangible existence of mind and spirit. My jewelry is a mental thing. I want the wearer to be aware of its actuality, like the ups and downs of our life, and to be able to sense its insecurity and surprise. The insecurity- a dream in which I was walking in the air struggling to reach the ground leads to the idea of floating objects. The floating neckpieces, glass ball and balloon objects are all a subtle humor that symbolizes a state of restless soul. The surprise- life is full of surprises. I want the wearer to explore its unique and unconventional relationship to the body. Furthermore to be astonished by its unanticipated outcome.
