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

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.

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.

coexistence (The adjourned time)
we humans cannot exist alone on earth. we need the other living beings. our ruthlessness and lack of understanding endanger our future.
Tougher days are coming.
The time, adjourned until revocation
is becoming visible on the horizon.

Difference
»Difference« wants the viewers to think about double standards concerning the socially judgement of different religions instead of tolerating them to coexist.
Soul of a Nation
In summer 2019 we were in Los Angeles to produce the Slanted issue #35. At THE BROAD Museum we visited the exhibition Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power 1963–1983. We apologize for not being able to identify all artists and to give credits for the respective works.
Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power 1963–1983 shines a bright light on the vital contribution of Black artists made over two decades, beginning in 1963 at the height of the civil rights movement. Soul of a Nation explores how social justice movements, as well as stylistic evolutions in visual art (such as Minimalism and abstraction), were powerfully expressed in the work of artists including Romare Bearden, Barkley Hendricks, Noah Purifoy, Martin Puryear, Faith Ringgold, Betye Saar, Alma Thomas, Charles White, and William T. Williams. Los Angeles-based artists appear throughout Soul of a Nation, and more deeply in three specific galleries, foregrounding the significant role of Los Angeles in the art and history of the civil rights movement and the subsequent activist era, and the critical influence and sustained originality of the city’s artists, many of whom have lacked wider recognition.
Featuring the work of more than 60 influential artists and including vibrant paintings, powerful sculptures, street photography, murals, and more, this landmark exhibition is a rare opportunity to see era-defining artworks that changed the face of art in America.
Synthesis – Coexist 2
Going through some weird times, lately, we, the people have learnt to appreciate living together a little bit more. At least, let’s suppose we tried so.
However, we are used to live in a repetition. Going back and forth, forgetting easy and making a wrong twice knowing is not the right one.
Let’s be positive.
It’s necessary to eliminate the toxicity between us as we need to prevent the pollution of the environment.
Brighter days will come, stay safe, trust actions not just words.
