Kaveh Ahangar Adel's Caricatures & Drawings

You are very kind, vildemose! :)

thank you for the feedback and BINGO, yes it was an epiphany.  Most of them are! but this one was one that came to me at 3 a.m. and I had to put it on paper. 

As I always say, I learn from the feedback hopefully as much if not more than what the audience receives from what I draw! For that I thank Azadeh jan and everyone who comment (the good and the not-so-forgiving comments.) I have never flagged nor asked anyone's comments to be erased as I believe in freedom of expression! :)

AAAAh, age 12 was very memorable for me!

Yet, I do understand the fascination with feeing like a carefree 6 year old! :)))

Both the cartoon and your

Both the cartoon and your comment were so uniquely intertwined and  inspiring that I forgot they did not come from the same person.

Hope Kaveh forgives me for not thanking him for one of the best cartoons on this site.... This must have come to you in form of epiphany...Well done.

Didn't expect to see you here :-) Thanks. You're kind.

Cheers,  ~ Azadeh

What? Your mother? Who is that?

Email me: azadeh_azad@hotmail.com

I"m so curious now :-)

Azadeh

Ps. You are one year older than me. I will always be 12.  And sometimes I think that's a bit too old :-).

Azadeh jan: Absolutely

Azadeh jan: Absolutely brilliant. One of your best synthesis ever.

Azadeh jan, We all inherently fall back....

into what we really want to be....... interestingly enough, we love having the freedom to be creative and having no boundaries--much like when we were kids.  I am and always will be 13. :)

That mantra is the premise for my own metamorphosis and the reason I vetured back into drawing and political cartoons through my own blog outside of Iranian.com. :)

thank you, also for posting very insightful blog posts as well as cartoons here on Iranian.com

On another note, my mother said hello. She was not sure if you remembered her. :)

This was my mantra when I was a kid. Imagine! It seems to me that we all change, but we also remain the same.

Cheers,

Azadeh

Azadeh jan, I appreciate the depth in your interpretation....

All the years, in my childhood when we had goldfish on the Haft seen spread I would always wonder what that goldfish felt.  I also, remember Samad Behrangi's story and would make my own "Mahi Ghermeeh Koochooloo" story.

I agree that the right and left are totally independent of one another.  What is bothersome is how blind and deaf the one providing nourishment  is to the cause of the eventual impending demise of our beloved goldfish.

The Cause (on the right) I believe is cunning and fully aware of what it has done, so calculating and precise. So cold that it has even left me, the one who has captured this precise moment, in horror.

I absolutely love your assertion that the goldfish "needs to be in her element" and really that is the reason why the goldfish is the center of attention.

My many thanks for taking the time and weighing in.

Absolutely enjoyed reading your interpretations.

I always begin my coaching sessions, speeches, talks and my interactions with an internal dialogue. "Today, I am a student, and I will always be a student of life where I learn something from each interaction."

My interpretation

Kaveh jan:

 I think the caption helps us interpret your sketch closer to your own intention.

It could be about the living condition of the people represented by the goldfish. She suffers, to the point of possible death, from the disconnection that exists between the actions of the two entities who intervene in her life as well as their lack of knowledge of (being blind to), and their lack of interest in, her condition. None of the two is aware of her dying condition. One takes away part of the resources vital to her life (could be foreign powers, domestic thieves, etc) and the other gives her what appears to be very important, but is not what she actually needs (could be the Islamic government feeding the Iranian people, etc.) She needs to breath, she needs to be free (to be in her own element.)

In other words, the two entities on the right and left are not aware of each other, nor are they aware of the goldfish's condition. It could be either because they are blind (the dark eye) or because they have a tunnel vision, focusing on what they think as being the right thing to do (for themselves or for the goldfish.)

Cheers,

Azadeh

Divaneh and Esfand Aashena, interesting takes...

on this one.  No part 3. It's wide open to your interpretation.  With Norouz and Gold fish, there is a pun there.  Moses gone wrong is a pretty nice take, although that was not my intention but I appreciate your wide vision!  By now, since you have seen many of my cartoons and sketches, you know I am ALL about the "vision" and even about exploring divisions whether in politics, environment or even plain old humanity.  I say, have fun with your interpretations and believe me, there is no wrong interpretation! :) cheers and thank you as always for posting your thoughts.  It means a lot to me and my growth as an Artist and a human being!

Divaneh this is trying to be Moses! Moses gone wrong!

Everything is sacred

I don't get it

Unless there is part 3 to this cartoon you need to give me a clue. Is it something like, if you take off the water, the fish flies. Or is it something more subtle.
