the following works are a metaphoric manifestation of a part of visual memory of today’s generation from parallel experiences of visual effects in respect to the animation products and video games in the recent decades. Only that the heroic position of some of the characters which currently have a pop feature, are replaced by the contemporary human characters. Namely, we have entered a nostalgic game which has been formed in the collective subconscious of a generation and has become a part of today’s cognitive and visual culture and inevitably has entered into human relations too. For example experience of violence, war, and obtaining positions which are not designed humbly, but ambitiously and in order to practice to gain special privileges; something like the current reality in the contemporary world. From this regard, combining these views, provides some kind of bitter comic and criticizing features inline with the culture and sociology the visual nature of which contains some kind of childish attraction in its outer layers. Although that it could turn to important and traceable issues.
