OVERVIEW
Higgs Boson is an elementary practice in the standard model of particle physics, produced by the quantum excitation of the Higgs field, one of the fields in particle physics theory. It is named after physicist Peter Higgs, who in 1964, along with five other scientists, proposed the mechanism which suggested the existence was confirmed in 2012 by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations based on collisions in the LHC at CERN.
In this project, the Higgs Boson is the main concept that have been used to show the essence of disorder and anarchy of the universe.

INTERVIEW
Tell us about yourself. What is your background and where did you grow up? How have your life experiences shaped your work?
I grew up to become an artist. I took extra classes on pottery, painting when I was in kindergarten. Just like any other artist, there were both dramatic and traumatic experiences in my life which formed and developed my early professional work as an artist.
 
Why did you become an artist and what has been your journey up to this point?
The turning point of my journey as an artist started when I was 15. I personally named that era "the beginning of everything", when my dad bought me a camera and I constantly was in the streets and shooting photos.These photos were also used as my painting scenes. 
 
What is an average day in your studio like and what is your routine?
Normally, my professional/experimental journey begins as soon as I wake up. Then I start reading. I read different subjects such as anthropology, biology, ontology, mythology, and philosophy for about 7-8 hours. At the end of the day, I cool down by watching a classical movie, then go back to sleep.
 
What is your creative process?
I am inspired by nature and usually use/program 75 different bio-inspired algorithms. This is the technical aspect of my creative process which I invented it. The systematic use of the unconscious is my way to proceeding with creativity.
 
How do you choose a medium for your work? Do you prepare and plan or do you improvise and experiment?
I choose new media art as my medium because I am interested in the intersection between art and science. Improvisation is my way.
 
Are your works conveying a message? Is there a narrative or a story to your work?
Sure they do. But I prefer not to write it down for my audience.
And for each of my works as an art, there are lots of stories hidden.
 
Do you consider your work of art a creation or a discovery?
Personally, I do not see a borderline between creation and discovery, especially in art.
