The project explores the origins of life and art. Although the multi-figure composition may appear eclectic at first glance, it presents itself as a unified art object. A network of red threads connects the various elements, ranging from a stone balbal and a skeleton to theatrical costumes and masks. These red threads serve as a metaphor for the unbroken connection between eras, civilizations and human artistic expression.
The installation is a reflection on life, death and the genesis of art. The mindset of the modern viewer is often woven from universal and national archetypes, as well as images from the past and present. In this world, it is crucial to maintain the delicate balance connecting the eras, a link that conveys eternal values through art.
