Man, in his complicated and multi-dimensional life, can make himself independent in intellectual terms only when he internalizes his experiences and develops awareness. The struggle man has with himself becomes meaningful when the historical development of his desire to lead himself is considered. This painful struggle whose winner and loser are the same, brings change and transformation within. "In-between" is a single channel video that has been produced starting off from this struggle.
Destruction, which is the act of smashing, disarranging and damaging an established thing, is one of the manifestations of the techno-industrial capitalist system. Destruction is a cyclic process in economics, industry, urbanization, ecology and in man, who is the only focus of all these. The destruction of the old and the foundation of the new instead in its place constantly forces man to rebuild and transform himself, his thoughts, his habitat. This process brings an inevitably vicious cycle within itself. “Destruction” is a two channel loop-video project created from and illustrating this vicious cycle.

Rewind is a single channel video project which re-interprets the choreography of an inner journey by reversing both motion and the motion’s relationship with time and space.
Man is born, grows up, reproduces and dies. What about plastic?
The thing we define as “wave” consists of the momentry picture of ongoing eternal motion. It is the spectator’s objective observation and perception that creates the image of wave. Wave is a one moment’s trace created in the spectator’s mind by the eternal motion which does not have a subjective entity, and which does not stop at any place or moment. It comes from the sea and returns to the sea again…
