Constructing her compositions by reflecting her own and other people's shadows on the canvas, Görkem bases the subject of the exhibition on her ongoing doctoral thesis titled "Questioning Myths and Unconscious Images in the Artist's Production"; at Mimar Sinan FAU. These shadows, called skia-graphos, are associated with Carl Jung's shadow self-concept, as in the first shadow painting that Plinius mentions, which is said to have been drawn by Butades; daughter Kore from Sicyon. Jung defines this as the parts of himself that he ignores or cannot bear to see, and that remains in the dark, and says that unless we come to an agreement, it will be reflected to us from other people and events. These shadows reflected on the surface, on the other hand, become a medium that allows us to see the artist's own personal myths on the canvas during the painting process. Thus, the expression of shadows in both individual and social sense, embracing our own other side, takes place on the level of art. These works bear the names of monomythic cycles.
