For Long Lasting Memories

The motive that guides me in this work is a reaction to the environment, but also the need to deal with my position in such circumstances after that experience in isolation. As a point of reference, I use photography, more precisely, the content of my works is taken from recordings, which were created for the needs of extraordinary events, celebrations, or spontaneously and covertly as a voyeur. In this layering of content, my poetics are often characterized by blurred effects, with which I want to emphasize the unclear border between memories and feelings.
Once something is over, the process of forgetting begins. The gaps are filled with various constructions. This is why I selected deep drawing on glass. It is also something that has never “departed from” a two-dimensional space to become something completely three-dimensional – it always remains levitating on that surface, mild and requiring the spectator to engage in interaction, so that it could become prominent and communicate the information that it contains. In these artworks, I presented the content important to me, which defies oblivion - closeness (which is so questionable nowadays). By transposing a linear drawing, and especially by engraving it, by 'writing' it into the glass, I want to create the illusion of a floating image that seems to avoid any precise analysis. Its barely visible appearance, however mysteriously empty at first glance, is filled with a huge, invisible, nostalgic sentiment towards the moments of the past - which are no longer there...
Memory enables us, in the present, not only to view the past but to bring it back to life in a certain way. Being nostalgic by nature, we can long for the world as it once existed in a particular place. We witness the foreshadowing of future ruins—the history of the world that undeniably triggers inertia and fear within us. In response to rejecting and resisting that sentiment, the work titled For Long Lasting Memories was created.                       This work represents an ‘action’ of rescuing memories from oblivion, with their fragility and ephemerality projected through the medium of glass. By transposing a linear drawing and engraving it into the glass, I sought to create the illusion of an image that hovers and seems to evade precise analysis. This work serves as a homage to fragile family journeys that metaphorically represent moments etched into my memory. The engraving of these landscapes signifies the inscription of moments always on the verge of cracking. They remain perfect, but when perfection begins to crack, it is felt most deeply.
