ABOUT THE ARTWORK

In this project , my nude model is a cancer survival . She was diagnosed at the very early stage of breast cancer when she was 23 and ended up with single mastectomy . When I met her , changes on her body was noticeably obvious and scars were addressing frequent radiation and surgery on her all over chest. But still she was pretty and energetic . She was the type of " cancer survival "s who they never take their life as a granted . Months after , I learnt that she is in another cancer loop again . Until, I found her at my another favorite "Model Agency" in San Francisco and turned out that she did another mastectomy to get rid of the second breast cancer attack. This project was done after her first mastectomy and is dedicated to her and all the strong women who they challenge with cancer. To whom who survive and keep their quality of life better and better everyday without questioning " Why me " ? " Lolita" is her artistic name and I m a big fan of her amazing poses. She is gorgeous .

Human body and its movements are the most intricate, sophisticated structures our eyes are exposed to. The fluidness and continuity of human movements along with the shapes the body takes during these movements, create a picture in our eyes full of smooth curves musically related to each other. This is what I try to capture in my work blending the body and its motions with music I hear and the rapture I feel in my mind . "Family Dreams" Project's statement : Today’s society is a conglomeration of children of yesterday. The children who witness the interactions and relations between their parents and other family members. The child’s memory is full of colors juxtaposing patterns shaped by the surrounding characters and deformed by their personalities. Reminiscing those memories bring tears to her eyes instead of smiles to her face. She finds her soul crushing under the pressure of pain, watching her mother’s detestable and odious treatment of her father. She sees her father desperately trying to bond the family together and to prevent its disintegration while the mother is ripping it apart with her unbearable sorrow, extreme anxieties, and hate. The mother’s shape is warped and distorted. The father is a collection of soft curves that do not belong to their rightful place and seem scattered and disoriented. The rest of the family fills gaps of the palette wherever the mother leaves them spaces to be and to breathe. And mother’s agitations force the children to swarm to any gaps they find in the palette where they can find some peace. Today, these children have grown to be adults. They see themselves as the harvest of what was sown years ago by those who touched their life. Recognizing the edicts of color and form, they try to portray on every palette, the story of a day of life, more sad than happy, long gone but still fresh in their mid and soul.
