WORKS

Negative Space and the Recycling of Meaning

Semantic recycling is not about rejecting the ironic productions of the past, but about deconstructing them, transforming them into memory, and reconstructing them. In this process, the stain, the negative space, the memory of the fragments, and the relationship between the part and the whole are the cornerstones of the production.

Ironic works based on smudged patterns existed as a form of production that challenged the creation of a mental space within closed meanings, and as a critical space. However, the continuous use of smudged ironic works confined production within its own boundaries. Therefore, the need arose to deconstruct them, to seek a production space that carries their traces but is independent of them. This was a more permeable, more multi-layered space of expression. Each of the deconstructed works carries the trace of the old meaning. Therefore, the term "recycling" suited the production. It is not an approach that rejects the production of the past, but rather a renewed continuation of the production process.

The negative realm is a silent void. An invisible space that carries meaning. This void can be incorporated into new meaning. This process is fundamental to the transition from stigmatizing, ironic works to abstract production shaped by the traces of meaning. Destruction is, in fact, a new creation.
