Approaching the works from the viewpoint of the relation among “body, time and melancholy”, Prof. Dharwadker further comments: “The succession of pictures on a wall is the illusion of a series or a sequence of moments, but time is both a question and a questioning. We are in the present and the paintings are present before us, but their time is also not our time, they transport us gently but firmly into another time and another place. We enter their time and it becomes ours.” The question of time also initiates different potentialities for dialogue: “images-in-motion invite us into the solitude of an interior dialogue—the viewer’s dialogue with himself or herself, with the paintings, their richly worked surfaces, their subjects, the objects they depict, the scenes they create.” According to Feyzan Yaman, Erkan’s paintings are to some extent a “catabatic quest”: “They are the elegy of an artist who became the witness of the degradation of a destiny and the birth pain of another. They recall Xenophon's Anabasis. It is the adventure of people who realized that their destiny is no longer in their hands as they depart from the familiar world, sea shores towards upper Mesopotamia following a war which they did not know why they fought or lost. They are now uninvited guests at these foreign lands. Return, which is named as Catabasis, is even more compelling and full of challenges. The only remedy is to avoid the disperse of their troops. As the vanguards shouted "Talatta, Talatta - Sea, Sea!" when they saw the sea near Sourmena after reaching Black Sea mountains through the coasts of Tigris river, they reached the familiar universe.”
