It is neither an expression for the eyes nor a look at the shocking events, it is only an attempt to represent what is and to look at the accepted habit of negatives that are a symbol of a half- finished and abandoned process, and not the shock of photos of war disasters or revolutions. They inspire the audience and not the desire to see nature scenes or architectural masterpieces in these images, the general shape of most urban habitats has been condemned and in itself has been narrated negatively.
In this view, images from the perspective of less inhabited places have been tried to be recorded in the form of abandoned places that are representatives of the future of urban planning.
The process of visiting this collection is a time- consuming and fruitless attempt for positive thinking, which takes the audience from a semi- abstract state to the world of perception through a visual translator. Determining how to see what I have created or an obviously incorrect interpretation that makes the surrounding truth incorrect and only what is presented in the frame is correct is the story of the incorrect thought of the compromiser who, although with an effort mixed with a little self- awareness, realizes the error, but with self- deception and Oblivion tries to interpret it separately, approvingly and thoughtfully, or at least accept it by necessity, while the constructions ahead are only in the permissible description, and in the end, it evokes the sense of being and not how to be. They make an effort to see nothing or what has happened, the boring repetition of scenes is proof of my point of view.
Using the old large format analog camera and the time- consuming process and the difficulty of photographing with film and the chemical reactions (develop & fix...) with the aim of negativity and recording with an old, time- consuming and expensive method for a simple representation, which has been Metaphorically, it has a process similar to the construction process.
Following an idealistic view, it can be said that the identity and richness of the current urban architecture in the Middle East seems to suggest a temporary and casual life and has robbed the citizens of the deep experience of living and living richly and as if everyone has a habit of thought and look have given it body. However, they derive part of their identity from this city.
