For
several
years
our
minds
and
spirits
have
been overwhelmed
by
continuous
presence
in
the
atmosphere
of a
print
house
and
being
surrounded
by volumes
of
papers
and
paints,
and
being
metamorphosed
by
the
magic
of
rhythm
and
order. A
little
creativity
and
thought
and
artistic
views
helped
us
to
see
this
space
and
pure
elements with
another views.
Each
one
of
us began
to
play in
a
separate
way with
these
unique
forms,
sections
and
textures
produced
by continuous
and
discontinuous
volumes
of
papers. They
constituted
the
main
foundation
to
create
new
pure
works
which
have
not
been
made
by
any
artists
yet,
because
these
works
are
jointly
constructed
by
our
spirits
during
years
of friendship
with
paper,
pen,
love
and
joint
works. This
made
us
to
compound
anything
we
had
already
learned
about
arts,
construction
and
philosophy
of
arts,
and
to
mix
it
with
a
joint
spirit
and
knowledge,
a
little relish
of
love
and
partnership,
to
spend
a
little
from
the feed
bag
of
fanaticism
and
selfishness,
in
order
to
create
joint
works with
partnership in
all
aspects. Using
bronze with
recycled
paper,
was an
excuse
for
these
ungracious
papers
to
outshine,
get
valued
and
to
be
noticed! Being
noticed
not
regarding
to
tree
being
and
living
but
because
of
the
obligation
to
the
dignity,
stability
and
glaze
of
bronze.
Fragility
of
paper
seated
next
to
solidity
of
bronze!
Losing
colors
alongside
of
dignity
and
glaze!
Simplicity
of
layers
along
the
complication
of
nuts and
bolts.
This
collection
is a
combination
of
many
years
of
friendship
with
paper,
pen,
love
and
partnership,
all
of
which
are
presented in
whole
to
our
honorable
master
