This artwork represents a memory with pain that is repressed and locked in a small box in the mind, so much so that you don t remember it every day. However, the memory itself remains in the mind for so long that it creates pain without you even realising it. The Abstract series to which this work belongs visualises human emotions that are not easily captured in words. It challenges the linguistic perception of oneself and is an attempt to label the phenomena of the human mind. Through the process of creation, it tries to reduce the amount of conscious intensity of the human attempt to make something perfect in order to extract the unconsciousness, which it can handle to gain more information and allows access to the essence of human experiences / Seeing humanity as a small part of the universe. partially experiencing universal phenomena the process of creation tries to incorporate the essence of nature/universe in an attempt to turn inorganic materials into organic beings.
