It is a "conscientizing" journey.
"Adamo, a symbol somewhat transparent of man,is also a determinete dog that acts as a dog, but, therefore, it is also a universal symbol of Man ( again the ' M' is capital) in the best of traditional Persian literature. Parvin's art is thus between realism and symbolism, and I would say, having the values of both."
Alessandro Bausani
The three selected poems correspond, on different levels, to the evaluation criteria adopted by the Jury:
1. Relation to one or more of the proposed topics
2. Content and effectiveness of the work in verse
3. Metrics, rhythm and balance of the work in verse
The topic is relevant to the Hidden Word Inner Life, urging us to seek peace, renouncing ourselves. The text expresses the struggle and suffering of those who cannot find themselves in their introspective solitude, at times finding Nothing.
Eventually letting then freely fly the Soul, relying, giving up on its own ego-centrism.
The text evokes the Hidden Words of Equality and Justice, both in connection with the topic of diversity. It can be cause of despair for those who know they are the bearer, without reaching the solace of awareness of having been "all created from a same substance", on which the principle of Equality is based. The same topic, from the perspective of who faces diversity from outside, also reveals the widespread renunciation of "knowing by own knowledge", which generates prejudice regarding all otherness, contravening the basic principle of Justice.
The text expresses the idea that active life is deeply rooted in human condition, which is expressed through it, and that only through it individual and collective benefits can be achieved. Thus, according to the spirit of Service, individual action can affect the
spiritual level as well.

The Atelier was born in memory of Samadieh, that is why her name is positioned at the base of the monogram, as a founding and structuring idea
*Realization*
The logo consists of a monogram, which appears at first sight as the letter A, while it is formed by the union of letters A (Atelier) and the S (Samadieh).
The monogram is irradiated by a series of rays that originate from the name Samadieh; this metaphor is based on the idea of memory that, despite its abstract and impalpable character, is guiding, illuminating and inspiring us and finally becomes the place of art.
*Conclusion*
The logo tells us the story behind the Atelier's origin: the will (rays of light) to create an Atelier that hosts several artistic expressions in the same place (monogram formed by the union of the letters 'A' and 'S') takes origin and inspiration from Samadieh´s memory (her name is written in Persian at the center at the base of the composition).
