Guidance Series

How would you act if you knew you created it?
What would you do if you realized that you could change the World with just your own creation?
What would you stop thinking about all the time if your life would change if you went beyond what you thought yesterday?
When you realize that you can relax your life by letting go of what you don't need, can you stop holding on to your memories, and old things?
The human being, who lives a life created by himself in the world he has created, blames the other person at the first opportunity, whereas, every choice intersects with the similar one.
Every decision you make brings you together with people who have made similar decisions.
If you leave your comfort zone, you will meet different people with different results.
If you are content with the problems you know in the world, you know, the life you create will be as you know it.
Even your dreams are limited.
The choice is yours. May the path of those who intend to see differently be clear.

Here with this explanation, I brought together the photos I took in several places around the world. Mainly go for rusted, old-looking textures to create the feeling of inner thought. Greens, nature, and, abandoned places are for making the viewer think more about the concept. Photos all together one on one from completely different places give the impression of depth and take the viewer into it.

Statement

I was born to be an artist. Therefore, there were no other options for me, and lucky that aware of my calling since childhood.
I am re-constructing the images using my photos to design new places and stories. Melt miscellaneous media, content, and emotion to create an original artwork free from time. Also, be defined as a photographic Matte Designer.
Moreover, I started to create inhabitants of these environments using traditional miniature art on paper and digital techniques.
I am highly interested in human behavior, the soul, and evolution. Using textures from around the world, create a new visual that questions and asks people to think about these matters. As a curious person, I am using this ability to combine new techniques.
