My practice explored themes of death, sadness, despair, hope, suffering, fragile boundary between self and the world.Through my ceramics, acrylic paintings and using natural materials such as wool, loose tea, orchids soil, orange peel, wax and wire, i explored what it means to be skinless to exist without a protective border against suffering.I agree borderline against the suffering that come from outside as people has got no skin so i am asking is boundary between inside or outside? What is me?

A fertile stop in the route in which desperation turns into a fatal disease is creativity. Suffering makes a human being speak out. It dig’s one’s depth.In 1996, (before my aunt passed away in 1997) Istanbul Film Festival, in an Italian film entitled “Skinless”-No Skin by Alessandro D’Alatri, 1994 Italian drama film as my aunt inspired by this film and as well focus of the attentions of a depressed and mentally unstable young man.A film which the “mad” were treated with a humanist point of view, there was a striking scene.The thing that pushes him towards such an understanding, is a sentence that the doctor utters in a session with the young man.The doctor tells the man that all of us suffer and we all have a skin, a border line against the sufferings that come from outside while the young man cannot stand these sufferings easily because he has got no final border, he has got no skin. This explanation affects the man deeply and urges him to think.

The ceramic forms resemble fragmented bodies or heads punctured with holes., suggesting the absence of a stable self inspired by Nietzsche, Sartre and Heidegger if the self truly exists as a fixed entitiy or fragile, senthetitic relationships shaped by responsibility, memory or loss.

Using natural materials are important for me.Their tendency to decay, stain, crack or transform overtime emotional vulnerability.

The circular forms i create as symbolic borders as life and death, exposure,despair.

On my first test of bioplastics as glycerine with leaves experiment it was failure then i decided to get a short course from textile teacher Jean.

My responses:The symbol of an eggshell becomes this fragile humanity, the fragility of human existence.Painful about disease what my aunt painted, she felt about it how they were facing it how they were trying to deal with it.I tried to connect between paintings as tree and touchy textual sculpture.Just visual.I would explain myself as an artist needs that story so i tried to explained, after that much better about traditions so it’s very symbolic .Taboo – How things that are kind of come out of the body that are then no longer the body pain? The pain in a way is also like how we are normally very contained and then pain helps it makes us not feel contained.It breaks our sense of being a person.So it’s kind of like that courageousness. It’s like the materials could be that they can then bring that story.Curation comes in this storytelling.It’s like how we are having this prick .
