Having different experiences in “DAHproject”, as an artist and curator, I started working on my individual artistic practices; I have always aimed at the investigatory human being’s senses, emotions, and effects of cultures in ancient them. Thus, I could make a connection with what probably happens in the future, meaning that to me it is a kind of prediction and preparation for it. To reach this goal, I use the present time and existing technological equipment and facilitating as a bridge.

Artwork description:
This project was supposed to be a kind of practice on ancient Islamic geometric patterns as well as an attempt for the reproduction and expansion of new forms of such patterns in 3D software space. also, I was inspired by a poem by an Iranian poet “Rumi”:
The house was left empty, and not one inhabitant (remained nobody saves the physician and that sick girl. Very gently, he said (to her), “Where is thy native town? For the treatment suitable to the people of each town is separate. And in that town who is related to thee? With what hast thou kinship and affinity? ” He laid his hand on her pulse and put questions, one by one, about the injustice of Heaven.
