Everything is a spectrum. Nothing is written in stone. My artistic activity is marked with depicting both spectra of femininity and masculinity in a singular work. Neither of the sexes can be defined in certain terms and I think we cannot tell which is which by their mere appearances. Judgment and the suffering that the two sexes have been consciously or unconsciously subjected to, which are mostly due to traditions and the mindsets of the ancestor, are undeniable. I am talking about the sufferings of this spectrum.
