The 'Parvardá' series is based on a very personal experience- my childhood. One of the heartily moments is the ritual of cooking homemade eastern candies with my great-aunt. This particular type of sweet treat was called parvardá. Firstly, the sugar syrup was boiled in an enormously large bowl, into which i dripped food colorings. After that, the most magical thing happened: with her bare hands the great-aunt would take out the hot sugar substance and start stretching and folding it, stretching and folding it. Gradually, the translucent thickness would become white and after that, the dyes would start to come into sight. The pulsating caramel body was colored with a rainbow. However, the longer it was whipped with hands, the more homogeneous the colors became. So at the very end, the seven colors of the rainbow would finally dissolve to become one. Each person is shaped by the initial encounter and confrontation of a multitude. That multitude paints him or her with a blasting rainbow of different opinions. It twines with arguments and stretches zones of comfort. It is only when one is oversaturated, mingled, and stretched enough, that one finds his or her true identity. Even the most physiologically inflexible people can stretch and fold themselves mentally as much as they please to do so.
