The Page of Saadi Shirazi's Bustan

Since thousands years ago many books have been illustrated in imperial library of Persian kings. The books of Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh (“The Book of Kings”) and Saadi’s Bustan have been interested more than the others.
Whit the passage of time and centuries, these historical illustrated manuscripts have been changed into separated pages and any paper of them was transferred to museums all over the world. Therefore in contemporary age, I can’t observe those books as a whole because, the only things that I can deal with are separated pages or pictures of them.
The title of this work is “The Page of Saadi Shirazi’s Bustan” because I’ve attempted to have t¬hree-dimensional expression from those pages. Also, I want to invite audience to this mental contention that how a vase could be the page of Saddi’s book. The figures in this work refer to concepts and flavor of Saadi’s book. I have explained my collections named Literature as Sculpture in
this page.
