“I exist.”

One of the first things that comes to mind is traces, as do most contemporary investigators or practitioners. They also desire to discover the past left by an anonymous scribe who was not allowed to reflect on inner impulses but still struggled to demonstrate one’s existence. Not as an anonymous scribe but as an individual practitioner, as if a scribe shouted at us, “I exist,” with a silent voice on the pages of manuscripts, especially on their margins. 

Ironically, seeming that trying to evolve out of the boundaries of the limitations of the central territory and struggling to survive in the suburb of the metropolitan area attracts individuals by assuming that there are many appealing opportunities to earn many dreams are supposed to reflect. However, contrary to the city, the suburb territory of the manuscript –referring to the margins of the pages- is always considered repository territory, having a potential for exposing the noteworthy details revealing themselves within and between the margins.

Overall, one unnamed scribe with his marks left in the quest for a way to demonstrate his presence. Still, very personal interpretations of the situations that he has made me think about the universal impulse, whether artist or not.

In observing contemporary practices, one dominant feature is leaving a very personal mark with a created personal calligraphic attitude. This tendency is still preserved and transmitted through the various practice forms deeply rooted in these anonymous times.
