HASHTI
It’s a playable installation that people can touch and play with them according to the instructions. Each octagon made from the mat and some of them have a photo pattern of some famous battlefield in the world. The tiles are the symbol of lands and the abstraction photos on some tiles are the symbol of an extinct documentary. The abstraction photos point to extinct documentary photography and also it shows manipulated photos are much acceptable by galleries. The geometry is a metaphor for logic and the octagon shapes are a symbol of communication places in middle eastern houses. This is a metaphor for modern battle, I a, trying to make some questions for the viewers, and I’d like to remind them what we lost by technologies. "Hashti" exhibits mixing performance, sculpture, and interactive installation with touches of Kurd and Persian was cited by some as an "a powerful and disturbing installation that poses urgent questions of our time and pushes the spectator into an aware state of anxiety." In the exhibition each viewer has a piece of paper of instructions, this is a rule of the game. The viewers allow to pick up the tiles and play together. "My work stands for the grace of thoughts, for liberty, for the right to be different, for reluctant to the technological weapons, and the pride of being a human in this world,". Also "The tiles with signs for playing that I developed for the installation make touchable the past but it speaks to the future,".
