ABOUT THE ARTWORK

“Temptation” is the fifth work in the "Flover" series. Temptation’s definitions are “the thing that attracts or tempts someone” or “something that makes you want something that you should not'' which leads to the statement that the The most desirable thing is the forbidden one. Through this work, I ask viewers about their tempt-resistance and behavior in contradictory situations. Apple is a known symbol of pleasure, a reference to the forbidden fruit growing in the Garden of Eden. While the snake symbolizes the tempter, consequently. The the tempter is deliberately shown small and weak to demonstrate to the viewer that it’s very possible to resist any temptation if you want it.

For me, constantly moving between countries, not verbal, but the visual language has become an actual form of communication. My art is about our inner processes, often mirroring in the outer world. Being born in a multicultural environment, I consider myself a citizen of the world. I combine elements of different times and cultural communities to show the absence of the need for separation, labeling. After all, we form all this together, in co-existence. Nature with its processes has become both my source of inspiration and the most suitable material for my works. I am interested in its symbolic properties, intertextuality, transformative qualities, energy, and mood. I unite opposites, such as the tenderness of flowers and the hardness of epoxy resin, thereby revealing the ambivalence of being. I tear objects out of their natural cycle, idealizing them, transforming the finite into a semblance of the infinite. My work focuses on our notion and perception of time. I celebrate the beauty of imperfection because every flaw is a trace of the inexorable elusiveness of time, evidence of experiential involvement, and, thus, an organ of self-identification. That’s why the contingency of the process and the errors resulting from the experimental move are important to my practice.
