Anamnesis is the primary element in which humans differ from animals and the language is the expression of anamnesis, people communicate with each other by language. In fact, humans convey emotion through art. We have to talk about the communication methods through what we call media.

Media is probably defined as: pipe, language, situation and context. Media conveys without middle element but with clay and space which people imagine.

With this work I want to express my ideas through the ancient human literature, communication and language. The character or a symbolic form actually means media which incurnates communication. In the daily city lives, people used pipes in conveyance and excretion and so on. All of that is communicational media between the different times and places. Moreover, the character of the pipe looks like the human body’s vein, endow with fresh meaning related to an ancient element.
