From the head

I have focused on the theme of head as a representation of man and the most intimate part of the body, a relationship between visibility and existence, and the eternal problem of using an image to mimic a man. This image-reproduction becomes a mask each time, when we draw up an image of human. I used underwear to mask the head to bring associations with intimacy and nudity, and although in the piece it has physical form, my intention was to create a symbolic link, an object from the outside, used for description of the inside. The process of undressing, which ultimately turns out to be a peculiar form of striptease, points to the self-referential nature of the work and expresses an utopian attempt to reduce the face to a single image.
