Title:From The Series Valley Of Knowledge
Statement:
This collection was made using broken utensils that were discarded in a pottery class due to a crack or minor fault and sometimes because they were not claimed. When I looked at them, I remembered parts of the story of The Conference of the Birds, by Farid Oddin Attar
Neishabouri, the story of Thirty birds that set out on the path of discovery, many of whom failed to reach their destination. And here they are.
In words of Farid Oddin Attar Neishabouri;
May the sun of knowledge shine from the sphere of this great path
Let each one see for himself
Recover infact your inner self
Made of discarded ceramic pieces, paint & glaze.
(This sculpture is a combination of 2 plates, a bottle, a jar and a bowl. They were all broken or cracked and thrown away)
-From part of the Valley of knowledge statement.
The series represent the story of our land, of many lands, of a people who set out to capture their dreams and fail and in this failure another story takes shape,
stories of pride despite failure, of gaining knowledge but perishing
in the struggle
