Featured artist Soheyl Bastami says this about his four works in the show:

"Suitcase: Human is born to travel. The travel begins when he steps on the Earth and he has to experience, choose and finally leave. He dreams to get to the place that he belongs to. He packed his suitcase to travel. (This artwork is from the Earth collection)

The Bird of Life
The bird of life and hope came from a worker’s dream and appeared on his ladder and it sings love and happiness.

Smile
“He hugs the birds in a way that it seems he is one of them”. I made this work to create a good feeling in my audience and give love and respect to the environment. This work is also a symbol of life, happiness, love and peace and the circle is a symbol of the Earth. (This artwork is from the Earth collection)

Shadow
The two figures that stand in front of each other can be symbols of humans, countries and continents in today’s world. Their shadow is appeared in a way that does not let them to see each other.

Extreme
How the modern world has become quite reliant upon machines. And a man tired of this world."
