The Memory

Many people will understand art as a way to beautify life, and Gulistan’s art creates new life. Architecture does need light, and it is difficult to feel the charm of architecture in the vast darkness. There is no external light in Gulistan’s work, the light comes from within. Her light source is subjective, the light cast by thought. Gulistan’s works will be like garden architecture, like the garden of human spirit, with the abundance of spiritual life. She is running her own spiritual garden. Each work is like an ever-opening undefeated garden, in which architecture and art reflect the level of civilization.

In my opinion, the poetry in Gulistan’s works is a kind of mercy. Although this mercy is very light, it is very deep. Such a Mercy is a kind of Mercy’s Taoism that everything exists and grows in time, and then disappears in time at the same time. Such a state of mercy is actually a kind of compassionate poetry. Then this is the true origin and deep meaning of art.
