Ali Ettehad in the exhibition press release writes:<\/p>\n

\u2018I found comprehension in you only so as to become the subject of my own comprehension.\u2019<\/p>\n

Ibn-e-Arabi, Fosoos-ul-Hekam<\/p>\n

What creates \u2018I\u2019 is something exterior to the \u2018I\u2019, something beyond it, an \u2018Other\u2019, abstract or concrete. With the creation of the Other, the borders of \u2018I\u2019 begin to show. Now it is this \u2018I\u2019 who is able to give the Other a sacred, kind, inimical or friendly role.
\nAs the creator of itself, \u2018I\u2019 makes Other a means of processing itself. It glorifies, adores, considers it the reason behind its decadence or sympathizes with it. In times, as encountered in mystic concepts of \u2018profane I\u2019 or \u2018impeccable I\u2019 of the mystic, the subject projects his dear self unto the other to penetrate through his dark self and join him. Such relation between \u2018I\u2019 and \u2018Other\u2019 is so complicated that one cannot look for its beginning.
\nNow if we place the Iranian contemporary artist in place of the subject, where will Other be located? What is the foundation upon which the domain of the artist\u2019s \u2018I\u2019 is based? Which factors including cultural patterns, collective memory, social lived experience and many other make a part of what she calls \u2018I\u2019 today? Is it possible to search for these parts in his artwork? The initial answer to such question is that no matter whether a contemporary artist runs away from himself or whether starts a quest for penetrating into his invisible layers she has to confront the Other. The artist is carving a statue of the Other; even if she builds the opposite of it, the initial example is still effective.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
