اتصال Etesal: Exploring the Convergence of Nature, Art, and Technology
In Iranian culture, nature holds more than just aesthetic value; it’s a pivotal element deeply intertwined with art, philosophy, and spirituality. As an artist, nature to me is akin to a divine signature, an integral component of the cosmic design crafted by a higher power.
The Craftsman’s Vision: Seeing Divinity in Nature
For craftsmen and artists alike, nature is a source of divine inspiration. We study its patterns and rhythms, translating sacred geometries like the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio into our creations. This meticulous application imbues our work with a universal dimension, mirroring the essence of creation itself.
Dissolving the Self in Art: A Pathway to Unity
The act of crafting transcends mere artistic expression. It’s a process of ego dissolution, where personal struggles and individual identity merge into a collective consciousness. This transformative experience aligns the creator with a larger whole, connecting them to the divine.
The Sky: A Realm of Mysteries and Wonders
Across different cultures and faiths, the sky has always been revered as a domain of the gods, an untouched expanse filled with mysteries. Architectural marvels, from mosque domes to ancient Inca structures, point skyward, symbolizing humanity’s eternal quest for understanding the unknown.
Etesal: Uniting Mathematics, Art, and Science
My fascination with Iranian art has deepened my understanding of the precision and symbolic language traditional craftsmen use. “Etesal,” my video installation piece, embodies this exploration, bridging the gap between our historical heritage and contemporary expression.
The Paradox of Technology and Nature
“Etesal” confronts the complex relationship between technology and nature. As we advance technologically, creating and exhibiting in virtual spaces, we risk becoming detached from the natural world. This paradox lies at the heart of the installation, reflecting our dual connection and disconnection from reality.
The Mesmerizing Power of Modern Technology
In “Etesal,” a galaxy video symbolizes the captivating nature of modern technology. It represents how contemporary society often loses itself in the digital world, whether through television, social media, or while idly waiting, disconnected from our surroundings and inner self.
