Have I waited too long?" is the beginning of a poem that I wrote many years ago. Its idea is not that different from the concept of the series The Two of Us that I have started a few years before and then continued 'till today. Although I've been constantly experimenting with many styles, scenes and other elements, my last works from the series still hold the essence of the original idea. The idea is not just to express emotions but rather to dive as deep as I can into my imagination and to search what I truly wish for. "If I can't find it outside, can I find it 'inside'?" The "Starlit Couple" therefore continues 'the series The Two of Us'. It is an expression of something that is beyond and timeless, captured at a glance of time ― forever. I made this artwork with only natural materials, because I believe they are the only ones who can give all the 'essential features' needed.
