Short Statement For MMU (Please ignore this if you are looking at this portfolio on Brighton University’s behalf.)

Using water and its forms and associating an element with a wide range of capacities surrounding shades of blue, with different emotions and stories, I aimed to strengthen the communication that I had difficulty establishing throughout my life due to my lack of hearing. In my sculpture named 'The Drowned God', I used both light and dark tones of blue in the right ratio to achieve a visually pleasing aesthetic. I was hungry to reflect my fears against the darkness of the depths of the water to swallowing me, drowning, and being defeated. I aimed to draw attention to the miracles in the story of the man who divided the sea into two with another one of my sculptures named 'Musa'. I resorted to metaphors by reflecting water as an obstacle in the steps taken towards success. I had the opportunity to observe the new expressions it brought to my art by using water under so many different titles in various mediums. Being able to reshape my love and hate, my strengths and weaknesses, my harmony and discord is one of the few things that can comfort me, therefore, is the topic that describes who I am the best.
