The "Witness" series is a painted diary in which I recreate the same image daily, using references taken from news broadcasts. I see this work more as a practice, an exploration, or a ritual rather than a final artwork. It is a process—closer to performance than traditional painting.
"Witness" is an attempt to comprehend and perhaps distance myself from a terrifying visual that dominates the media landscape—an image of an explosion. However, my goal is not to avoid difficult topics. On the contrary, I seek my own way of engaging with them, focusing on color, form, and rhythm rather than specific events. As a result, the work becomes a kind of diary, capturing a particular historical period through a personal lens.
