Goynek is an old, traditional form of lingerie from Turkey, like a woman’s second skin; it is tightly twisted when not in use. I put it on and walked out down the highway in Bern, pausing at a billboard image of a woman reclining seductively, advertising lingerie. Then I continued into a forest and wandered into an area of sawed down trees. I climbed onto one of the tree trunks and posed in my goynek, a sad monument to environmental destruction and loss of culture.

The story is out of its behind; what I touched and saw became ingredients of my artistic perspective. They looked unconsciously delivered visuals, but nothing hasn't a reason to stand in this project. I think you have weaved an idea about my identity by looking through them.
