Statement

From images of ruins of villages and cities in war zones, especially Syria where the most brutal fights are going on which rendered wealthy urbans empty and broken, a bustling city became desert with broken walls. The boundary between death and life, prosperity and ruins, peace and danger has become very thin because the fate of these cities is in the hands of external forces, who do not belong to where they are running the brutal war in order to rearrange the world the way they wish.

Once again, through the battles, the boundaries are reshaped and it seems like this has not come to an end. The cruel downfall led by the war haunts me with the grey white color covering the walls pierced by bullets and the collapsed houses blocking the paths which makes the city a totally closed-off maze.

I reproduced that broken maze with ceramics. A whole ruined city has the form of white clouds, which go around sliding through bloody battles, and they might vanish without leaving any trace.
