Strange that this indistinguishable thing needs clarity. The truth is that “Tubin” and my other abstract works are a part of something larger. They present questions around what exists inside of us. My abstract works are the enlarged images of the microscopic happenings of the internal landscape. Where one sees faces and traces of objects, I see the inner workings of our existence at a biological and molecular level. Respiratory processes, inherited DNA, receptors and signals communicating the release of hormones when we’re in love or experience joy.
