“Icarus has become better-known as the flyer who fell from the sky when the wax that joined his wings was melted by the heat of the sun.”
As fascinating and useful the progress of human civilization is, it might be dangerous as well. “Over-Progressing” may become the cause of our annihilation, like the story of Icarus; who flew so high that the sun melted the wax in his wing.
The sentence written in the artwork is a quote from E. O. Wilson, an American biologist, naturalist, and writer; refering to the myth of Icarus.
Communication Ambassadors
Communication towers, Inseparable parts of our civilization. The Connectors. Constantly present in the landscapes of our cities. Communication Ambassadors.
“To Be Trapped in Your Full Stop”
For most people life in this era is like to be trapped in an endless loop. We wake up, we repeat the same things we did yesterday again and again. Living in a full stop.
The artwork is inspired by Radiohead’s Ful Stop, and the title is a part of the song’s lyric.
Night Wanderings, April/May 2020
Inspired by the Robert Adams series ‘Summer Nights, Walking’ I went for a few late night walks around my neighbourhood in north London. I realised that because of lockdown, I hadn’t been out at dark or taken a single photograph for over a month. It felt eerie and unsettling at first. The images were taken on a housing estate near where I live. The swaying trees framed the pockets of light from the windows, each small square representing domesticity, warmth and hope.
Society coexist
Society exists if it coexist. Cause effect and an anagram that goes beyond the status quo.
Dystopia?
Being born and raised in a Middle-Eastern country with a dictator government, and seeing all the curroption, censorship, embezzlement, military repressions, poverty and etc. Always makes me wonder, are we living in a “Dystopia?”

I CAN’T BREATHE
A reaction to the horrific execution of George Floyd in plain sight of the world. Hopefully his death will lead to the reset of our relationship with our fellow humans and bring about a larger conversation on equality for all.
Come Together
Only interaction with others makes coexistence possible. Come Together. Right Now.

All forms of living
We must give all living beings a serious role in the construction of our common world and contemplate all non-human life as sacred.
Live, Exist, Coexist
To live or exist together, especially in peace, at the same time or in the same place. That is the core of Coexistence.
COEXIST IN PEACE
Shapes and colors coexisting together in the same space.
maybe together
coexist as listen, calm down and listen again, wait for to response, solidarity, togetherness, as caring for each other, speak out, reflecting…
Buffalo; Plant; Scarecrow; Tree
I am a Romanian artist living and working in Edinburgh, Scotland. My work involves photography and moving image where I improvise with my body and everyday objects to distort my appearance and create unnatural and subtly distorted characters and scenes.
‘Buffalo’, ‘Plant’, ‘Scarecrow’ and ‘Tree’ are part of a larger series of black and white self-portraits inspired by flora and fauna.
Me or We
Our mindsets inform our actions. When we’re motivated by self-interest alone we can be distanced from our peers and ignorant of their needs.
A “we” mindset establishes a sense of belonging which naturally fosters empathy for our fellow humans.
Coexistence in diversity
Coexistence is possible in diversity. Through the use of different typographic treatments, I wanted to create a poster that showcases how human diversity (race, culture, sex, religion, language, etc.) can create a whole.

People Before Profit
How can humankind coexist in a socio-economic system which thrives on the exploitations of others? The notion of coexisting can never be in fruition when there is an exploited working class that works for a lifetime for the benefit of a few. The defining factor of life is money, a capitalist social construct that has poisoned societies with the consistent need to pursue and idolise the commodities, status and power it brings.
Society needs to detach from the selfish neoliberal ideologies that dictate our institutions, technologies and even our personal interactions. A socio-economic system that embodies the concept of coexisting would prioritise the need to put people before profit.
Format I-phone 8/7/6
Social Media make us feel closer, especially in times of Corona. This rises hope in many people for positive changes. However, the increasing flow of data also increases energy consumption. Raw materials, which are necessary for infrastructure and equipment, are mined in post-colonial conditions.
