Crumpled by Mojtaba

Crumpled
Crumpled is the title of a project including various series of sculptures projects: The Wastes, Crumple the Matrix (cliché), Deformed Form, Face of Altercation, Sealed Objects, and Flying Over the Childhood.
These sculptures are made out of copper, lead and galvanized steel.
The clichés are copper plates on which a plan is engraved and this plan is distributed through a pressing process. At the end the artist is faced with the wastes which remained of his artwork because the plate should be destroyed due to the artist's obligation not to reproduce the piece beyond the agreement and create further editions.
These wastes are the objects which the artist had paid a great deal of money for to produce his art and to be able to present to the public.
Anything can be turned into a cliché in order to become a cliché, especially when the artist is busy with a routine process and unaware of the existing reality.
In order to express a pure idea, we may need to repeat the action over and over. This, sometimes may lead the mind itself to operate within a cliché and just produces: In fact, the form and meaning of the subject is going to be interpreted in a wrong way.
The second look at the true existence, from an aesthetic point of view, re-investigates and reintroduces the concept of beauty. The aesthetic view toward the surroundings gives the artist a broader perspective and leads to the concept of creation, the reflection of which could be traced in the artist's activities .
