UNITY - FROM PART TO WHOLE
It is the fragment that transforms our perception, an end of the object, its image... Perhaps it is the starting point of the search in our gaze; the glow reflected from a drop of water, forming its own whole before it falls to the ground and disintegrates... Yes, although there is a state of fluidity, each of them is still reflected in our gaze. The artist is on a journey to establish his own whole by passing through that part... To carry what is filtered through dots, signs and parts to the light, to the objectified part... And to create the whole of his own gaze there.
And there life itself is looking at life, through the window of the universe.
When we are so inside, wholeness breathes with us.
What about us who live in the world, who are the most important parts of life, do we give the message of uniqueness and wholeness to the universe? Wholeness is a universal truth, it is the reason why the universe exists. The universe opens new paths for us and at the end of the paths it offers wholeness. Every particle that makes us feel wholeness actually shows us the transformation of the part. I wish this to cover the whole universe.
The Unity series, which I created based on this perspective, symbolizes simplicity, truth and reality, the essence of reality, purity. While integrating the full and the empty, similarity and difference in a single body, unity distributes its dynamism and power to the universe at its most extreme part.
THAT BEGAN AND CONTINUES
The work depicts the aspects of life between birth and death, the time on the wing... Moments of liberation of the soul, of the body...
Days of freedom; the folds of time are the visible signs... In the symbol of white there is a rebellion against all kinds of force and tyranny... The look that opens to the day; it is a way of holding on to life, to hope... Existence by taking root somewhere... From there, opening up to aspects of life...
