In this final project, „fragments of materialization“ textile fragments dance in reciprocal relationships with each other, showcasing the supernatural power of fibers and fabrics.
The works allow the materials and the space to speak for themselves, revealing the inner essence, the soul of the materials. The fragments speak loudly without uttering a word. Through these works, a surreal and nostalgic effect of past rituals is achieved. A dreamlike atmosphere emerges from the unexpected and unusual combinations of various materials and traditional crafts such as embroidery, weaving, ceramics, and metalwork. The spectacular light photographs by the spiritualists of the 1920s, who sought to convince others of the parapsychological phenomenon and spirits, inspired the artistic process. The staging of spirits in the form of white ectoplasm and the atmosphere of séances have left traces in the work.
