BANG

When I came to Germany, the scariest thing for me was not that my home could be physically destroyed, that I might lose my motherland...

The skull, for me, is a symbol of everything that we buried inside ourselves during life. A painted skull is a fully revealed personality, the fruit of a lived life. The theme of the animal reveals a person's connection with his tribe, his primordial, animal beginning, his true self.

In this video I wished to present elements from my jewelry series "Animal Style" based on jewelry made by Scythian tribes who had lived in the Black Sea region.

"BANG"- video, 2022.
