Bou Collection: “An Epiphany in Sustainable Delight'”
Since I started to observe, reflect on, and question cause-effect relationships, I have found some answers. However, I did not want to categorize and restrict my answers as to how to reflect them in real life. I studied architecture and it became my major occupation; then I created a new grammar with industrial design and art, all of which formed my thoughts on objects and structures. Some interactions I gained from my observations found their worth in architecture, some in design, some only in sculpture. For this reason, I do not only describe myself as an architect, designer or sculptor; tomorrow I can present different answers through different inspirations. Thoughts can find different responses from the abstract to the tangible. Because, in my opinion, creativity is a framework of productivity that has absolute disciplines in itself and yet likes to be free on the path of choice. In my journey that I started off by asking “Who knows?”, the awareness of progressing at different times, feeling the same symptoms, has crafted my atlas of creation. Because the first and the last sign of being creative is to produce.
