I am interested in making associations between similar visual
characteristics, such as shapes, colors, textures and functions
and inventing causal relations and correlations between these
elements. Regardless of scientific accuracy, visual association has been important for us to describe the universe since before modern society. For example, worshipping rocks that look like genital organs as symbols of reproduction, the notion of taking photographs to steal an object’s soul or being inspired by shadow shapes on the surface of the full moon to make up stories. I see bricolage-like manners in these ways of grasping phenomena from our environment and am interested in our inherent desire to create relationships between similar characteristics. In the Coconut Heads series, I am incorporating this pattern of unscientific and irrational thinking into my perspective of the contemporary world. Through this perspective, I am constantly observing my surroundings in search of relatable objects from different fields and inventing new relationships between them. It is an unlearning process of all the existing social structures and the re-organizing of the components without considering their order and value. These result in visual narratives and then I ultimately create new organic system by assembling those new relationships on diagram-like compositions. |
