Contrasts

Life is a balance of opposites and a reminder that it is based on two fundamental principles: good and evil. 

​

When we forget this and strive to live in a world where only one principle prevails — good — the emergence of the second, antagonistic principle in our lives can be deeply traumatic, as we are neither consciously nor subconsciously prepared to accept scenarios that may cause us harm. 

​

The series of works, "Contrasts," has logically matured from the experiences my country has undergone as a result of a treacherous war and from my personal experiences during this period. 

Through these works, I want to tell the world that it is always essential to remember a dualistic concept's existence. For those who choose to bring these works into their space, I aim to provide a daily reminder to cherish the good that we have, always remembering that in an instant, everything can change dramatically. Love life. It is wonderful. Right now. At this moment.
