„My early artwork is about storytelling of new creatures where I create Dream that suggest imaginary journeys of the Spirit". I get my ideas by looking around and having awareness of my surroundings. We are living in a strange time period right now. On February 28th a disaster changed my artwork and ideas. A nation-wide trauma changed my perspective. A common pain awakened me and I wished that it would do so for others. It was Pirouz death of an Asiatic cheetah cub - one of the last in the world. The nightmare which I’ve been dreaming of, gave birth to an idea. A myth was created in my mind ;an Anima and Animus as a complementary and balancing sole creature. I took an old work and I started a new one in a way that my old work keeps its personality and demonstrates my new perspective. Actually I wanted to emphasize this as a work that had been started but unfinished, similar to my self-reflection.  I created a new image of a creature that was never seen before as a symbol of heroes and heroines.
