Majnoon

Love is the greatest thing one can ever realize, so big that it can penetrate into the smallest things. Like the way Majnoon talks about his beloved, with such bright and mesmerized eyes, he recalls her from behind every word he says, describes her and admires her, feels her, calls her name in every unsaid word, in any time and any day that has not come yet, in any border, in the sky full of stars, in endless dreams, in the rhythm and resonance she gives to words; word by word. Intoxicated by the ecstasy of her miraculous passion, he celebrates the universe and all beings with love…

The concept of the present collection, is the story of Majnoon, narrated by Majnoon. Structural wise, it is a combination of word forms, from thousands of pieces and hundreds of layers, in connection with each other, variant and spread throughout the space, which causes the creation of a noble and contemporary perception of image and sculpture. I deconstruct the structure of words, give them a new arrangement and speak them in a personal visual language that is more powerful, more beautiful, more tuneful, more intense and more passionate,

so that they turn into words, beyond which, a beautiful dream lies in the context of a contemporary story.
