Sometimes you need to drown yourself as a self-punishment for the guilt that you may have never done, sometimes you need to tear up the boundaries and breath, sometimes you need to wrap up your soul and stay away from the crowd, which one do you choose? (Large black garbage bag first appeared in my works from the early days of my artistic life in the series of paintings “Unforgiven 1, 2 & 3” (2012-2014). This worthless but meaningful material became valuable for me because of several relocations that I had from my childhood. In this video-performance which is my first piece for one-year international project “Endlessly Performing Art”, garbage bag has come to surface again to show my paradox feeling about myself and my psychoanalytical self-punishment and self-curing).
