Why Plate?

While the plates on the shelf bear witness to the daily life in the house, it also symbolizes an introversion with the alienation of the individual in urban life and pulling himself towards home. These plates, which are bent and twisted and consciously deformed by taking on humanoid characters (personalizing them), aim to reflect all the distress of physical or emotional isolation, which is forced to be restricted to a space, to the audience.

This production process, which started to take shape after the explosion that took place in Ankara Kızılay on March 13, 2016, has increased the isolation in daily life; It is a sad story of an individual, who is much more directed towards loneliness and alienation, and cannot find anyone other than himself in dialogue. Since the subject can no longer find a response to express himself in the outside world, the figures drawn on the plates; he chats with himself, argues with himself, fights with himself, that is, he engages in a dialogue with himself, how much of it is delusional and how much is real.
