However, in the recent works(works of 2017), a new change can be detected. It is the change that is detected from the point which, up until now, had the artist made the space of her painting the utopia as a place for escape, now, she has started to deal painting as a space of amusement. Ideal Landscape(2017) which its vertical length reaches up to 4m, no longer attempts spacial depiction of any sort. Instead, the canvas is filled with brush strokes that briskly go by, freely, not just up, down, left and right, but diagonally and such. The canvas filled, loosely, and its rhythm, which the relatively big brush strokes possess, are also impressive. Another piece of work under the same title Ideal Landscape(2017) is indeed far more filled with impromptu and abstract brush strokes. Whilst observing the two artworks, the eyes of the observer, rather than trying to analogizing forms of landscape, focuses on the brush strokes and their paths. They try to imagine the artist's arm and its movement passing on top of the canvas. Though the artist might not agree, it is from this point in time where paintings are no longer a conceptual paintings but shifts to Abstract Expressionism-resembling expressionistic paintings. Sufist dance, portrayed, timidly, in amongst one of her past works, Unreachable Self-Effacement, is, in Ideal landscape, not a portrayal, but has become the action. The real ecstasy may become possible only when brush strokes depict not, and becomes the action like the dancers that dance the Sufist dance. Personally, I would rather hope that the artist's action will expand up to becoming a play. It may be a way that can get closer to the utopia the artist is describing.
