The Most Beautiful Times

This body of work is a broken narrative depicting a woman’s devotion and passion through freezing performances on still images. It’s a narrative mixed with my imaginations and real experiences. In the work, the daily life objects and environments are linked to real events while the interactions with them and alteration of the space are blended with fantasy. I constructed an imaginative world to examine and set free my inner emotions and desire. Each action in these images is fictional; however, every action is real in my mind and happens in my body. Through representing those imaginations and real experiences, I am able to retrieve the past, examine the present, and try to foresee the future fear, and to look into what made and are making who I am. The clean tone and the artificiality of the images are used to convey the fakeness of this imagination. The emotions associated to the actions are painful and struggling. Although the narrative itself is personal, the ambiguity of the actions going on allows evoking viewers’ own mental experiences and sensual response.
