Fragmented memories of the pink river

Looking for meaningful actions, Prioritizing the important ones was lessons that I learned during this process. In this step Amy Sillman was the artist that thought me to verb my gestures and the composition of them. Importance of daily practices and allowing the two new works to have dialogue with each other transform a new atmosphere in the studio. The most important experience during this process was the moment that I could connect with English for the first time. I think it is because it was the first time that I was able to work on a project for a year and at the same time the whole process was a good scale of sources to protect this process. Placing gestural movements in the way that can expressed in a way to be able to build new normal, new structure inside a chaos.

“Trying to crash the heaviest layerto hope to find you there.Trying to crash a surface to be able to sketch our dreams again and againA dream that doesn’t have a border for silence and dance.For moon and the pink riverThe small gesture was in front of a heavy wall.It is as heavy as those moments that I wanted to whisper to myselfin my forbidden mother tongue.I try to see the other sideBut the dark layer was heavyAs heavy as the storm that divides me and youI try to feel you but here is chaosFull of broken pieces that don’t allow me to move.”
