Artistic Perspective: Master Bahram Ashofteh
For me, art is the quest to breathe new life into forgotten objects. I believe that every piece of cold metal or abandoned scrap of wood holds an unfinished story at its core; by connecting these contradictions, I strive to build a bridge between the industrial world and the delicate soul of art, to remind us that beauty can be reborn from the heart of ruin and waste.
