I am an art teacher. I have been doing some collaborative art works with my students which are mostly environmentally. In the beginning, I research about social and tradition of local students and find out about the materials that they could work with and afterward I plan for a project which usually takes about several days or sometimes months..
“68musty glasses from the party”
After one month mother and father came back from Mecca. (Pilgrimage).
Family, friends, colleagues and neighbors came to visit them.
Now there are some musty Paper glasses next to me and the memory of the party days. A Friday. At home.
In the "Chador ", I put on my veil since we have always been together, ever since I was 9, Sometimes out of divine love and sometimes out of hatred.
