statement:
Since my childhood, I have usually been interested in Art appeared in making dolls of clay and later of cotton-woven-fabrics. The years after under the pressure of the independent living, my times filled by routine affairs to the extent that I couldn’t have my artwork.
Since that it became my concerns that how can I allocate some times to my artwork within daily affairs?
I finally decided to convert my daily affairs to artwork, which I have usually thought that they are obstacle to my artistic activities.
