JUST STOP EVERYTHING

 MY DARLING DARLING GIRL, WRAP YOURSELF AROUND THE WORLD

 

Mystery of mysteries.. Plants, water and air are right there before us. Every time I view the nature, I felt a calming sense of security, as if visiting my “ancestral” home; I embark on a voyage of seeing, of finding myself.

This track makes me want to just stop everything. I think about the man I love, I picture a life of our in a place that meets our needs, keeps us happy and healthy. I wish I were using my youth more wisely. I’m scared thinking that I’m nearly 20 and my next 4 years are planned out for me.. I don’t want to miss anything. I want no regrets. I wish I could leave everything and I wanted.

In my work I’m not trying to give an answer to any questions, I just watch and listen to what causes my internal response very carefully. This project supposes to be just simply an extension of my feelings.

 My darling darling girl……..

 

Some scences (test works shot at Amersham)…immerse mentally into a hostile and unfamiliar environment. To put myself into this landscape, construct a space, to become part of it, to find a zone in myself where time and space will cross.

 

 

The first goal is to turn myself into s something else and try to express a sense of self finding self belongings through this transformation. I wanted to show the confusing or ambiguity of selfhood, self recognition and self finding.

Article circle, high land, Iceland .. I aimed that the geographic reality will give way to dreamy imagery.

 Also I refer to the concept of “home”, where am I belong to..

My practice functions around the notions of how I feel, understand, and remember and dream the home or a place..

Deconstruction woman (She-‘Self ‘, She-‘Other’)

 

She- Self  She- Other

 

Life beyond the self.

It’s a Self-portraiture, photographic self-performance about female subject and an artistic practice.

 

 

 

My representation of constructed self through bodily gestures and shifting positions performed in front of the camera, represent desires and reflections about women. I try to assemble and stage my subjects and moods through images. My body is used as material and medium for this photographic work. The staged performance of this work balances the physical presence of my body referring to more imaginative ways in which I can record the inner self.

 

 

 

 

Deconstruct mode of performative self-imaging that opens up an abstract way of thinking about woman, in terms of constructed fantasies and the sexually identified subject. It also could explore notions of self-identity.
