 Machinery, which has an significant place in every aspect of life, especially in the field of industry, may seem superhuman; but they are actually result of the human mind. Considering machinery as a manifestation of the human mind, Sarı interprets machine aesthetics in his works with a different perspective than the futurist point of view. Contrary to the futuristic understanding that praises speed and the power that comes from speed in the artistic creation process, the machines stop for a moment and bring back the silence that has disappeared. The silence of the machines depicted in works of Sarı, represents the helplessness of the human mind declaring victory over nature, and the machines turn into a still life of sorts such as the dead nature and objects.
