(1993), MARDIN

The artist's works carry traces of a search for existence beyond time and space. By combining these concepts of duality in his own created universe, he takes them to a different dimension, exploring the meaning of human life. In this universe, the relationship between humans and nature creates both a sense of belonging and a feeling of alienation. These feelings appear in his works, where spatial reality and spatial void act as metaphors in the search for the meaning of life. Spatial reality represents the formation in the artist's own universe, the relationship between nature and humans, human existence in nature, and the feelings of belonging, identity, conflicts, and struggles. Spatial void symbolizes the artist's psychological emptiness, the constriction between the past and the future, the loneliness of the hidden language and culture within the body, its loss, and transformation. He seeks to establish a balance between spatial reality and spatial void through a different language. With the language of art, he asks existential questions such as: Who are we? Where did we come from? Where are we going? He seeks the answers to these questions in the process of his universe's formation, in the interaction between nature and humans, and in human existence in nature.
