Heavy Water Salty Eye

The exhibition 'Heavy Water Salty Eye' brings works together that use dynamics and images of fluid mobility and vehicles as existential and political metaphors. Through different forms of objects that are material and symbolic, the exhibition subtly establishes and connects between steps of thoughts of an artist contemplates about an identity with fluid residence in between continents far away.  The questions and heaviness of a Dual-existential position which has physical, cultural, emotional distance is the idea and core of the whole concept of the exhibition.  For example, The glass sculpture series (Sea shape1~10) with unrecognisable sea-borders on the map, The suitcase carrying the palmar crease-terrain of artist to reach to the unreachable land due to political situation, are questioning and nuance the idea of originality of existence and concept of motherland. Following the different ways in which residence liquidity are referred to in the work ‘I’m standing on the edge of the Land (2022)’, sculpture consisted of airplane-window and stained glass. In a poetic parallel, landscapes from the relics of natural elements, architecture in Venice composed with an airplane window revealing fantasy or imaginary aspects. People disappeared from the map, sitting on a place (or maybe a passage) loosening the sense of time and geography while only observing a graduated color out of the window, and appearing again on different coordinates on the map.  How many borders did you cross? Are you still breathing the same air where you were?  The show metaphorically infiltrates the questions about neglected political facts through the travelling objects with the artist's psychological understanding of them. By bringing the works into close proximity with each other, the exhibition layout aims at taking the viewer across a landscape of associative leakages between permanence and deterioration, belonging and estrangement, often collapsing the distinction between the authentic and the fabricated. The works operate within a circulation and distribution of materials and meanings, relaying them according to a personal methodology that consumes and transforms moments and fragments of reciprocal interpretation between the East and the West, the South and the North.
