history\u202d. \u202cWhen I stare at it I can see a lot of family memories\u202d, \u202cit gave the youth fun\u202d, \u202cit was fathers\u2019\u202d \u202cperpetual fellow traveler and such a beautiful white horse for a bride in white\u202d; \u202cit was how white Paykan became somehow\u202d, \u202cthe Iranian family member\u202d.\u202c<br>\nGetting together all these images lead me to a tempting surreal installation taken from the Iranian reality\u202d. \u202cThe tale of white Paykan and the curiosity in the memories reminds me the novel Roots by\u202d \u202c\u201cAlex Haley\u201d\u202d; \u202cit seems the discovering process by the white Paykan in the angles of personal lives can go forward to a wider area such as Iran contemporary history\u202d.\u202c<br>\nIn conclusion I just can confess that\u202d, \u202cit is impossible to watch an abandoned Paykan regardless to the huge history bearing\u202d.\u202c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"
