Sedimentation-Seepage

The man’s relationship with modernity is one of the underlining theoretical and research themes in the field of art and the realm of social sciences. Modernity, in its instrumental approach, by suppressing the bulk of emotions, ideas, thoughts and feelings, directs them to the realm of the subconscious. The impossibility of human communication through the conscious with reality on the one hand and the suppression of emotions in the subconscious on the other hand give rise to anxiety, insecurity and apprehension as the most prevalent pains and anguishes of contemporary man. In these paintings, I have strived to exploit the language of art as a means of translating repressed desires into the realm of dreams and to objectify abstraction accordingly.
The use of scratches in this collection incarnates dimensions of scratching the soul in the subconscious so that the soul is objectified and expressed in its most concealed inner layers. Abstract art represents an artist’s attempt to battle the molded world in its limited dimensions and sizes, and the re-reading of the repressed world is primarily an endeavor to voice things that we are afraid to articulate or mental barriers that hinder their formalization. What is evident in these images is the innermost fears in the buried layers of the mind, which by drawing on colors, pictures and images, have strived to initiate a discourse between the artist and her inner self and the artist and the outside world.
