“Recently, when I had a chance to look over my past works, as I prepared for a talk about my works, I discovered that I have a pattern in creation,” the artist said in a previous interview with the gallery BeinArt. “I found that I created work related to the theme of love after I made a couple of works expressing some negative messages. It seemed like I was answering with “love” to the questions arising from my work.”
