Mixed Media, Digital on Canvas
Size: 30 W x 30 H x 0.1 D in
We live in a global society, and the media we consume tells us we're all in this together. Seemingly, we are aware of the misery and the suffering all around us – but it always seems to happen somewhere else. It seems like we can just like a photo on our social media outlets, and the situation will fix itself. My collages are a showcase of the world that is willing to go on pretending that everything is normal and the harsh realities that many – even some of those offering compassion – would be happy to sweep under the rug. But I believe my art provides a perspective that could not be ignored anymore! We will use the print earnings to publish my book 'Parallel Universe - Peace | War' collaborating with some of the world's biggest human rights and refugee non-profit organizations. Details will be shared once we have enough funding to publish the book.

Turkey
In 2015, the image of a drowned Syrian boy gripped the planet's attention, giving a human face to the conflict which drove away so many people towards an uncertain fate. Turkey felt the full weight of human suffering, giving shelter to more than three and a half million refugees. Uğur Gallenkuş, an ordinary citizen living in Istanbul felt the need to act, to help, to make a difference: and he did it the best way he could – through his unique blend of expression. Today, the world knows Uğur as the artist behind the stories told through his digital collages. In reality, he is a business-school graduate leading an ordinary life when tragedy struck in Syria. He knew nothing about digital art, but he started learning about design programs from online sources. A white-collar worker by day turned into a self-taught digital artist by night. In fact, after all the success that happened, he still leads a simple life, working his daily job. He cannot explain what brought his artistic side so suddenly to the spotlight – everything happened as if by divine design. He felt a purpose that could not be denied and saw how to start a unique conversation between two seemingly completely opposite scenes.
