survival of a rose

This ready-made

sculpture was 

created in 

connection with 

the photo-documentation

series "Tomatoes, Euphrates

and Goats Protesting in Anatolia"

 
from 2010-2014.

Here we see a lifeless rose,

kept alive by a water infusion 

until the flower is no longer able

to absorb water and undergoes the

 
natural process of decay.A visual

representation of the question of

 
how controlled we are in a

 
consumer society flooded with mass

 
media,which deprives us of natural

 

foundations and processes. 


It also draws parallels to the 

extinction of lifestyles and

the transformation of a society 

that increasingly consumes instead

 
of creating, as seen in the videos

"Tomatoes + Euphrates".
