   The “nostalgic period “early art learning in my life echoing all the time in my subconscious. Like a particular alphabet in easy that consistently poke our continuation to an inevitable pause to remind them, earthier for a moment or a while, we step retreat for a moment and start thinking to them and make some idealistic stories which led year to year. I am going to work on re- contextualization through visual citation. Whenever I saw the traditional miniature paintings, I wish to be a part of that fanaticized world. Whilst  I can’t go back into that period, but can enjoy the charm of that era through my artworks. So, I used to visit that historical spaces, explore the books in commemoration of them and document my pleasant moments. I took reference from past and make a future for new world on tabletop (wasli). I call it “re‐citation” in the process of transformation of a visual. Hence I used to measure and note this time through the documentation for amusement. The current body of work is based on the same sensibility in which I am tearing imagery from miniature art history (my early art learning process) that always inspired me a lot due to several reasons and idealizing them unlikely in such a socio-political way though I experience in a very cunning way that always hurt my fantasy. I can say my current work is a discussion, in between my fantasy and the consumerist war.
