“Living on the Orbit of Inexistence”

Sometimes, external elements appear as symbols of our current characteristics. To me, suspended characters are pliable and interpretable elements that are utilized to deal with uncertain, ephemeral situations. Moreover, they are an epitome of the situation we are in. In the fluid passage between different elements and symbols with unknown depth, I seek to express the confusion and transitory nature of all life. Moreover, by creating suspense and ambiguity between the real and unreal of space, I want to generate mystery and engage my audience emotionally. I also encourage the audience to search for the hidden details of the works.
