Although there is nothing, which has no content and there is no content which has no form, as a visual artist, the duality of form/content in Art, is the subject-matter to me. Does the form come after the content, or this is the content which follows the form? Which one of them is the light for the artist to find the way to success? Priority of form or priority of content? Which one is the reason for counting some artworks as masterpieces and some, just as works. For years, I have been wondered which one is really correct. First, I thought that it is the artist's idea that leads the way; so I started studying philosophy and it led me through the way of thinking, criticizing, and question-making. After some time of investing in philosophy, I had realized in order to form things and visualize ideas, I had to learn visual alphabet: elements and principles of design. I had studied cubic shapes in different perspectives, creative deformation, and human and animal anatomy in different academic systems, to practice on forms. Meanwhile, philosophy of language and semantics had revealed to me, how human beings learn the physical world, talk about it, and theorize about it with their thoughts, verbally. "Verbally?" I asked myself. What if human beings observe the physical world, picture it, and theorize about it with their perceptions, visually, and not verbally? I use elements and principles of design, to explain this perceptive theory and to present a way for learning and understanding Art.

People talk, and they believe, almost all, they send and receive meaningful ideas about particular events successfully. But, as thoughts and concepts run in, meaningfulness and successfulness vanish excessively. So it is for each individual, to refer to his/her own experiences and perceptions, make questions, bring examples, and run some deductive process, in order to argue this ambiguity out.

Description: To me, listening to music is to hear "Hush!", or "Um!"; A particular event, demanding someone's resolution. These art works are mine on what musicians provoked on me by their musics. I, as a visual artist, came up with a single frame and that frame, in its turn, waited out the other's resolutions. Thus, I asked Morteza Keshavarz, a photographer, to help me run the same process. So the second frame, a photograph contains his resolution on the music and my work, produced. There, I had the music, my first frame, and the photograph. The third frame was like a question to me: I wonder how this process proceeds?

Natural light and the way different materials behave, make me curious about the source of colors, its essence and effects on how we think 3-dimensionally. Is it because of the perspective that we feel the world in this way, or, it is different behaviors of a material, the same material, spread trough the space? Here I used monochromatic ink, or a combination of two, provided with white light to see how one reacts in front of the works.
