Seals of Ahmad Nadalian For Making Dear Feet Traces in Hormuz Island 2007

In December 2007 during the environmental art festival, I realized a new project. These were deer feet traces on the sand of beach. The Hormuz Island has a number of deer. Due to lack of rain and shortage of sweet water in this island some of the young deer died.  People in Hormuz Island believe that when deer is thirsty came near beach and water of sea gather in her feet traces and became sweet (This is belief and miracle). Then she can drink it.  But the fact is that now because of shortage of rain some of them died.

 

I inspired this belief and by using lime stone made deer feet and printed them on the sand of beach.  The artist who participated in the festival were very exited to see that deer came near to our camp. But the deer was me who also printed unusual patterns. (Environmental deer)
