The intellectual system of original bonds I have formed with abstract expressions enriching my understanding of art and rendering it subjective I think, intersects with life. What is life? What is the meaning of life? When and in which moments is this question asked? Is it in the moment when we start questioning the World in its relationship with us, realizing that there is an “I” beneath our physical appearance? Is it in circumstances in which we are bored or we are backed into a corner or we are at the stage of making a fundamental decision? Is it in times when we are unable to hear the echo of our voice? Is it at the moment when we suddenly come face to face with death?
If life is a form of existence with its continuous ups and downs and if it cannot be obtained once more, we are then afraid of being unable to find meaning in it. We sense the need for producing different meanings for each life.
There are complex traces, coincidences, and people making us human in our past. Memories are shifty and they constantly escape from our hands...
A human being comprehends his/her own life by looking from outside not inside... Hence, we suffer and there become times, in which we expect life should be more docile and fair to us. We long for success, peace being loved, and feeling confidence. But no matter what happens, our story becomes a true story only after it is experienced. In fact, our spirit, our passions, and our longings give our adventure colour and form. The light shed on what we actually present makes our past visible. And the meaning of life or meaningless of it comes from the result it reaches for or arrives at.
