Ugur Kunst

My work is a reflection of my life and things around me which comments on the cultural, political and environmental issues that surround us. I am trying to represent the dangers around us through imagery like shark fins or nails sticking out. What are they? How do they affect us? How can we fix or deal with them? I am trying to ask these questions to myself. Also I have a strong connection with memories, not just personal ones but social. Memories dealing with secrets, stories, images or objects. Some memories are playful and others are painful. My goal is to bring them alive through my work by using symbols of everyday objects. The emotion, concept and process are important to me while utilizing various materials and techniques. I communicate these ideas that are expressed through my sculpture which transcends culture and language. These issues within society and myself which change over time and space directly influences my works.
