"Head - Lines"
My sculptural work focuses on two related themes: the ‘Human Head', and the interpretation of 'Ancient Greek Mythology'. The first theme I call 'Head - Lines' and is about the formal variety, tension and expression in sculpted heads in shapes, planes, lines. The sculpture is not assigned to existing persons. The second theme - also related to heads - I call 'Possible faces'. It is a contemporary interpretation of mainly Homeric protagonists who stand for essential ideas and concepts, which are elementary in our most basic experiences.
Head Zero
In the portfolio 'Possible faces' this sculpture is called 'Andromache'.
This sculpture can be seen as a transitional figure between the categories I use for my sculptural work. Without the interpretation of the figure by specific naming, this is a work in which the coherence between interior space and external space is emphasized in particular, as well as the formal approach to the human head from a mainly compositional point of view, instead of a more narrative angle. Because of the double position in my work, I gave it the title 'Head Zero' within the category 'Head-Lines'. Finally it is the origin of a new type within the framework of my sculpture.

Interface
Under the mask
hides another
borrowed face
and some more
below. Layered
probabilities,
- appearing and
disappearing -
even though they
are tied with ribbons
against an annoying
loss, meanwhile
speaking in many
languages, which
they don't master.

Ancestors
A child am I
of many parents,
stacking predecessors
in and on my head,
carrying them along,
as penates, fetish,
burden sometimes,
in hope of reluctant
blessing.
Most of them are
strange and far to me.
I am going back in mind,
cherishing signs, crossing
borders, asking birds,
defeating shadows, raging
emptiness beyond, to an
uncertain destination.
