Socio-political, philosophical, scientific but imaginary ways of describing how the world works, how things are related and meanings of the seen and unseen by exploring events from different possible perspectives and viewpoints are my current practice. My work is made along with my hypothesis that this world consists of two opposing worlds, each of which are called Subjectivity World and Objectivity World – like light and shadow, both worlds are in opposition but are set as a whole world. There is a transmitter called Utopian Element/World which transmits and connects the two worlds to make a flow, events and movements - such as notion of time, social/political change and relations of individuals are some of examples. Each world has own autonomy but without the transmitter, the whole world does not have any action and movement. Social issues such as classism, racism, gender issues and even disputes between groups and countries (war, terrorism, economic/political predicament etc…) are outcomes or aftermaths of the transmission. I assume that everything in this world is all intertwined and one small change in a part of it affects on the balance of the whole world, and I pursue the recreation, relocation and suggestion of discoveries of new perspectives, realisations and visions.
