A post-dualist nostalgia

   When the woman tomb stones of an Ottoman era cemetery drew my attention for  the first time ,I was fascinated by how they resemble/stylize a woman body with its curves and  traditional hair pin/crown like ornament named  hotoz  which was created especially ‘’to be seen’’ by a culture where human figure is prohibited.

    İt struck me how a post-dualist enviroment it was ,the woman ,the stones with its rumi style carvings and the earth.The human ,the non-human,a piece of culture and the planet,they were whole.

  I tried to visulize and go deeper in this nostalgic post-humanist,dream like scene and create an alternate  universe  in my works   where the order in anthropocentrism lacks.
