Collection Concept: In praise of the hand
In contemporary jewelry, objects are connected with the body, and the body as a context for presenting the work can create a different meaning and establish a different dialogue between the body and the work. In the materialization of the thoughts and ideas of the artist, the presence of a hand, a skilful and capable hand, helps to facilitate the creation of the artist's artwork. It should also be noted that in terms of shape, form, application, and semantic function, primitive human creations have characteristics that show valuable information about human ingenuity in all historical ages. The discovery of various materials and their use to meet humans' material and spiritual needs multiply the attractiveness of these creations.
Like the incense burners of the Seljuk era, which are among the finest examples of Iran's metalworking art, and in this collection, a unique look has been given to them. The incense itself and any other incendiary substance are used in the popular culture of Iranians to protect a person or space or something precious to us from malignancy. All these issues caused objects to be made in connection with the hand as a ring (use) and to honor it (semantic function).
