” Circulation

In the flow of nature where things are born and circulate to the soil, I connect one thing to another at a certain point. As if we see the flow in slow motion and stop it at the point. I have been trying to present that state as a work. With my thoughts on the ancients, I try to express the power of nature and things surrounding us in a very natural way.
