Ehsan Shayegh's work transcends mere theoretical and precise forms, embracing a practical approach. What might look like simple tableware to a casual observer has a deeper meaning. Ehsan dreams with his objects, imagining their obscure origins. His creations are actions, not mere displays, and each piece is a journey through materials and techniques similar to the water systems of ancient Iran. "Qanat" recalls the primitive system that brought life, energy, wonder and mystery. (Luigi Meneghelli)
