| In
2000, my first child, Mayaan, was born. The feeling of bringing a child
into this cruel and polluted world made a transformation in me. Until
then I was occupied in translating my emotions through painting and sculpturing,
not really trying to save the world.
I have started to do happenings for the purpose of attracting public opinion and response to the absurd in which we live as a result of the “progress” driven by the consumption habits. Constantly I am
coming up with new ideas for happenings, some of them become a reality
with minimum preparation. Most of the happenings I did were without police approval, because I believe in the acts I did, and in a democratic country a man has the freedom to express himself, even if it is not in a regular way. |
