Chaosmos

The Chaosmos project, which began in 2012, focused on the traces of the post-industrial revolution crisis and eventual collapse, and was a search for confrontation with a dystopian fiction created on the basis of subjective perception and personal observations, far from being a documentary.

This study traces the process in which the passion to dominate nature and the "other" without limits leads to the alienation of humans from their labor, from nature as a part of themselves, and ultimately to the destruction of their own species.

Chaosmos also contained Narcissus within it. With a slightly different interpretation, it tells the story of how a person's admiration for what they create will bring about their own end.

Chaosmos is a work that examines how existence today is almost synonymous with the concept of growth, and how the competitive policies that result in producing more, consuming more, and even reproducing more, are nothing more than a deadlock that is rapidly bringing about the end of nature and humanity. The photographs taken are considered a reflection of this absolute end, foreseen from today.
