“There are no rules for connecting us”, March 17-April 20, 2021

Search is not an abstract concept but has a deep connection with the concept of lack and absence, and absence is the main driving force and motivation for search. The sense of loss and absence takes me on an inner journey that comes with the exploration of hidden layers of reality and an attempt to penetrate to its deeper dimensions. It is like entering a deep well or a dark place, in which I can get lost and detach from earthly realities. This collection didn’t have an initial plan, and I have set out in the path of intuition and instinct influenced by romantic works. We can see unpredictable layers that are set in a precise order, but they may eventually disappear when we don’t expect it. The audience cannot grasp a clear beginning and end.
