Agheli always seeks signs and symbols to achieve
narrative images. The motifs are familiar and
legible in terms of representational features and
symbolic implications. The body implies by most
classical sense the Iranian icon “Takhti” and the
lion represents the certain symbols of ethnic and
historical significances.
