The artist, who separates the individual from the society and draws attention to his other structure, de-identified the individual while doing this. It strips the individual who is the same with social processes and gives isolation from society and internal conflict through their bodies. Human existence anxiety is questioned in studies based on the concepts of loneliness, alienation, lack of belongingness, and loneliness. It bends the bodies or limbs in order to make visible the psychological tensions created by the concepts of lack of identity, nothingness, emptiness, frozenness, numbness, leaving, leaving, giving up, in the individual, if it shrinks and hides it. In his works, in which he also transformed his own body into an object, the relationship between figure-body-body, which is generally found in abstract spaces, has been depicted within the framework of the existence problematic.

In the studies dealing with the space / human problem, the white area of ​​the canvas constitutes the pictorial space. In the compositions based on the tragic aspect of the figure, unidentified spaces and figures are combined with an imaginary composition and overflow the boundaries of the pictorial space with the infinite emptiness of white / black. In the paintings where the speckled density of black and gray, not the color, is prioritized, it is left to the viewer to complete the space that turns into a void.

Today's mass media offer us idealized body images. While this perfect body created creates admiration, jealousy and a strong desire to resemble it, as a result of the effort to reach the ideal body, the body becomes a purpose for consumption by moving away from its real biological meaning as a result of the effort to reach the ideal body with admiration. The organic integrity of the human body is completely denied and transformed into body images that show it as a flesh. It is emphasized that it has an important place and is in a mutual relationship with belonging, and it also includes the interpretation of the state of alienation of the metropolitan people by alienating the similarities of the similar feelings in the metropolitan people by addressing the city-space-human problematic on the canvas.

------ ENGLISH VERSION -------

The artist separates the individual from society and attracts attention to his other structure with deindividuation.

The artist emphasis social abstraction and inner conflict by undressing the individual who turns out to be the same as the rest of the society after going through social processes. He questions the existence concern of human with his works composed with the concepts like loneliness, estrangement, belonging to nowhere… etc. He bends, minifies and hides the bodies and the body parts in order to expose the psychological tension caused by deindividuation, nihilism, emptiness, insensibility, going, leaving, abandoning, giving up…

In his works he uses his own body as an object and depicts figure-skin-body relation within the frame of existence problem in mostly abstract locations.

Modern communication tools present idealized body images. This perfect body image causes admiration, envy and jealousy. As a result of a person's desire to change his body with this admiration, the body retreats from its real biological meaning and becomes a consumption target. The organic integrity of human body is ignored and it is turned into a piece of flesh with those body images. This work abolishes the logic of body and hopes to remind that body is a biological trash, a piece of flesh that is going to decompose and disappear one day.

The artist emphasis the incompatibility of individual and locational identities and also discusses city- location- person issues. His work involves different interpretations of the status of metropolitan people who estranges himself by othering the similar feelings which became all the same ..
