Vanitas
Beautiful Imperfection

The Vanitas is a memento mori and draws attention to impermanence. I really like to using symbols in my works and hiding them inside. In fact, nothing comes into the picture by accident; each of them has something deep to say.

Transgenerational Roots

This picture is a portrait of my grandmother. This work was part of a self-discovery process for me. Everyone carries transgenerational heritage and our ancestors play a decisive role. It is very important to recognize our transgenerational heritage and learn about the stories of our ancestors, which help us understand our reactions and decisions. The history of our grandparents is also important.

Inner Winter

This picture shows symbols related to femininity, which can also be linked to menstruation. Pomegranate is a very old feminine symbol that are also connected with menstruation. In addition to the pomegranate, a menstrual cup is also hidden in the picture; it is delicately incorporated, which is hardly noticeable. Menstruation symbolizes the cycle of death. In the female cycle, life is symbolized by ovulation. Death, on the other hand, is a very important stage because without letting go there will be no rebirth and no new cycle will begin.

Unclaimed Sharpness

For in and out, above, about, below,

'Tis nothing but a Magic Shadow-show,

Play'd in a Box whose Candle is the Sun,

Round which we Phantom Figures come and go.

The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, 
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.
 
***
 
And when Thyself with shining Foot shall pass
Among the Guests Star-scatter'd on The Grass,
And in Thy joyous Errand reach the Spot
Where I made one—turn down an empty Glass!
