Original artwork description:

The factors that we perceive through our emotions pass through our mind filter and are in our memory pool. Everything we interact with has many lore and scientific elements that cannot be seen or felt (at micro and macro levels). Knowing ourself and others is our greatest richness. In this painting, the artist has created his collage by bringing together the images he previously accumulated and those reflected in his mind at that moment. Starting out from the smallest building block, the atom, it combined organic, inorganic, micro and macro elements to connect with the body. In order to emphasize mental perception, he sometimes intervened by abstracting the collage pieces, playing with colors and deleting them. On the papyrus-shaped piece, he reorganized the calligraphic Chinese script by comparing it to primitive figurative forms. To emphasize the mental journey, he turned the bouquet of flowers wrapped in paper and placed it on the head of the figure. He added a piece of microorganisms that provide natural order turning it into a helmet shape and put it on the head of the figure. In order to emphasize the brightness of science and mind, he made connections between pearl grains and the form and brightness of the moon. He placed the cycles and path of the Moon according to the form of the head. He added a lantern on the forehead of the figure to commemorate the Soma's mining workers who were under the rubble at that time. The metal mask in the right middle part added to commemorate the sculptor Koray Ariş, who died at a young age. The plumeries on the head of the figure emphasizes the quill pencil , that is, lore. The cut-out arm of the figure is associated with tors sculptures he has repeatedly drawn at the university. Under the transparent area made by referring to the x-ray film at the bottom left, the newspaper piece highlights the moment and prompts us to ask and interrogation with the word "how to" in yellow text.
