       Insanity is a state of mental aberration, state of freedom from a crazy reality world. An unusual or perverse mind belongs to a body and mind that is cut off from society. normal mental state is desirable in an individualistic society wanting to control the social system. Otherwise, it would conflict with society and produce a state of confusion. Thus, a search for balance is an inevitable response to deformities. I understand the cause of inequality to be rooted in a lack of self-understanding. By suppressing the secrets within us, We build up the demons of our own minds. My interest in structural and functional neurological and psychological disorders finds expression in artistic works that focus on the enigma of the brain.

      Light and Death are metaphors I use as binary opposites in the ‘Study of my brain’. Without darkness, there is no light. Bright light is magical enlightenment, while death equals blind ignorance. We fear death because we do not know it truly. If the world does not know evil, mankind cannot know what is good. Therefore, the knowledge or the light cannot exist in isolation from ignorance and darkness. Theories in physics and philosophy correspond in the objective way and the abstract way. And the theory of materialism and idealism are pursuing the truth of things, and are believed to constitute a universe called;"The Whole" of Immanuel Kant.

      Love and Lust in ancient Greek thought are not separated. The love between a man and a woman and between men are thought to be driven by EROS in the pursuits of attaining the highest form of truth. In Freudian thought traditions the tension between humans and the environment is constitutive of the human condition, making conflicts between human propulsion and society’s demands inevitable. Lust contends with the moral expectations of the  "super-ego" that makes people feel guilty of seeking pleasure in sexuality.

      Anomaly and Suppression is about how things should not be. It shares affinity with destruction, the creation of problems, coated with a seductive charm. Anomaly is caused by an energy that suppresses the "Ugly", of what goes against the grain of “good” social andcultural mores. This work cycle aims to find a  way to bring back "Pain" in discourses of anomaly to discover the ultimate truth, and its absence.
