 The one who is like me, the one who is not like me.

Woman's presence in between two magnetic poles is followed by man, resembling the rhythm of a pendulum:
the one who is like me - the one who is not like me. Not every loaned object from the past is an object of merit and cause
of progress. Iranian plasterwork however, that is rooted in western classic world has lost its signifying and pragmatic functions and like a remaining fossil sneaks from a culture to the other. The one who is like me, the one who is not like me. These classic forms that have
praised the allure of their era, similar to the other ineluctable parts of the traditional life, are intertwined with the contemporary in the decorative fashion. On the other side of the paradox, large and colorfully tawdry objects compete with the world of advertisement. And regarding our time's formal concerns and like an extraterrestrial being, in the approach of avant-garde fashion and in pop-art structure we are faced with objects that when fused with their subjects they came to expose dynamism, anxiety and unorthodoxy. This series indicates the contrasts that lean on the traditional values and on the other hand are unable – or possibly unwilling - to detach from the modern world confessing its multifaceted identity and here the plaster-works shatters and falls with a flick so that the radically poignant and chic that has reached out of their passive cocoon, whisper this sentence:

The one who is like me, the one who is not like me.
