Mahdiyah Dehghani (Iran)

Artist Statement

Nowadays, the technology growth and routines have resulted in leaving nature out of consideration and consequently causing many irretrievable damages the environment and human being. I see myself in direct contact with my surroundings. Therefore, using the natural elements in every region, I have provided some arrays to be again a link between the nature and my audience. In the other part, using the recycled materials I have wanted to establish a bridge between the traditions and introducing them to my audience .My goal to design and construct these kinds of works has been to recognize and introduce the capabilities of the recycled materials, restoring and providing them in a new construct in order to access the optimal methods to protect the environment.
