Observation
We live in a realm whose physical aspect we generally name “nature”. As one of the creations that possess the power of thought, humans constantly need to “observe” their surroundings and define their relations and interactions with it throughout time so as to maintain their existence. This interpretation from the nature has changed, from ancient times until the present day, for various reasons, one of which is the level of the superiority of each over the other. The concept of “change” is also linked to “matter” and its utilization in this system. With these keywords in mind and considering the issue of change from different aspects, the continuous relationship between humans and environment can be engages in a constant confrontation. Hence, striving to observe and revise the relations that can help improve the Life appears to be a necessity. Defining what a better life truly means is itself a question that can be answered throughout this process. Amin Shojaei’s current project is an example of such efforts and studies with regard to nature.
