To believe and show effort is necessary for attaining holy

Effort is one half of the holy

Transformation story of iron that came from nature starts at the point in which it comes together with fire and ends in water and in itself. The ritual of thousands of years takes a meaning in this point. This meaning is sometimes a means and sometimes takes us to different transformation; the transformation is base of life.


Unripeness is the other name of lack of harmony, lack of whole and unripe.
The basis point of our existence passes from whole and whole is hidden in the secret of transformation. The face of secret is our naturalness and our arrival moment to it.

One of the definitions of object should be sought in the journey that is made for attaining the
whole.

Man in his journey should see the problems well, assimilate it and pass it truly from his intelligence and heart strainer. The problems exist for being solved. And solving brings a special accepting and this accepting help us to reach the true and beauty.

The key of this accepting is love, devotion and belief.

The whole passes from the approval; paradox in the object exists in the criticism of going bad of the balance and in the desire of coming out the feelings that access the balance.

The thing that comes out wants to end in the formation; last invention takes one to a new transformation and formation; the achieved point starts with the creation of the holy and with the coming true of miracle. The name of the point that is accessed to the holy is “that moment” or “now”

Now is the other ritual name of balance and formation. It exists or not. The formation takes its existence from the definition of “now”

The produce of the soil and its integration with the water is main subject of bottom and back place. Two of them is used because of the desire and anxiety to become a united whole with natural and provide balance. Idol can be thought symbolically as the basis object and evidence of existence.
