Trauma means a wound in the Greek language but it also conveys the state when faced with a sudden realization of the truth. A reference to the past and to events that act as stations of accentuation and a phenomenon that abruptly comes to a person’s notice, can give birth to a trauma. Trying to trace and make visible the hidden truth (La Beance), confronting the questions of life and death, to find the reasons for living and dying, leads the woman to the paradigm of Deep Dark (2007); and references to time-space emerge in some of her works which are developed as folded layers of object and space. They are the result of a philosophical longing in her mental journeys versus the realities of the world; and the “micro cosmos” and “macro cosmos” in this era, and her installations, is a poetic joy, in awe of the endlessness and majesty of the universe. One thing is obvious though: she is not far from this universal language. She shows no fear to discover her inside: to discover the woman inside her and her boldness; although this might be considered a taboo in the contemporary social milieu. The lively colors that cover the volumes, in addition to the color-values she makes use of, are fascinating mediums that can help the viewer forget the darkness of the Deep Dark and black holes that exist in the eternal constructions of natural micro and macro cosmoses, within and without.
