Concept Note

The conversation is very important for the human beings. Conversation becomes communication. Communication is part of human resources. We always use the words for conversation. We Build Different kinds of conversation for our alive.   We use the words to make conversation that will become communication for ideological inter- relation. Transportation is to transport our different kind of ideological inter- relation.

Art work statement

I use fishing hooks as my material. Why I use fishing hooks: Sharp - like some words, Dangerous - some words can be Dangerous. Trap - some words are like a trap. Link - we can make a link with words. Be caught - some words can be caught by each other. And the words can come out easily to go and comfort so that we need to know them carefully and clearly.

Why I use transportation in my artwork is that conversation is the same as transportation for me. For example, I arrived in Vienna at 10:30 pm on 15th January. I asked, “how do I buy a train ticket?” I started to make a conversation. Then, I got a ticket. Austria's transportation is nice and interesting, easy to go and comfortable to use if you know clearly.

Artist Statement

Why would I become an artist? I always asked this question to myself. This question is important for my life. I think that I became an artist because of my background. I was born in an Islamic family. Hence, I become an Islamic woman inherently even before I know what it is like before I notice how much different I am from others. The cruelest curse of human beings is that I have no right to choose Home, God, and the color of my skin. I can only try to see and enjoy differences from other societies and cultures. I try to make a connection with different societies because I want to start to open my society. It is because I believe that. That is a good way to build transparency for our society. This is my first point of view for our different society.

2009 I started to learn about painting and new art at the New Zero Art Space. I became realized that I can touch the art. What is art? My answer is art can change everything. I believe in it and this is the second point of view. So I decided and chose an Artist life and then my artist life is moving on with the first and second views. Especially, my Art is basically the performance art and I approach individual perception upon feminism and religious issues and composes my opinions to the artist creations.
