Statement
My works are concomitants with the path of self-awareness. Some of them exist as periodic records of the journey on this path, while others exist as a part of the path itself that carries the act towards awareness.
From the introspective record of the body after meditation, the written record of dreams or conscious activity, to the unexpected combinations of substances that replace words function in the brain, the non-replicable experiences toward self-awareness are transformed into symbols of its own existence. And these symbols are then combined or processed into works through the choices made by conscious or subconscious minds. Ultimately, the "finished" works become auxiliary materials for further awareness.
