Welcome to the period that nailed our lives to the screen; stuck staring at the devices in front of us. Hasn't all this virtual reality become real for various aspects of our daily lives now? To mark this age, I present this mirror-like work, demonstrating how our eyes stare fixedly at these devices.

In the process, I try to present the point of view of the machines we are staring at with the help of AI to produce photos that seem to capture the moment we are glued to these devices. Prompts that coordinate the viewing position from behind the screen or the front camera-view become a bridge to getting the viewpoint of these machines. Afterward, the resulting photos are curated before they are printed on a rough surface of linen paper, which emphasizes the pixel details of the resulting image. Apart from that, the selection of this material also tries to remind us of physical reality, which is a pile of interlocking fabrics. After being printed, these images are then distorted in a scanography process that attempts to intuitively reveal the subtle emotions buried in the photos. Images that tend to appear cold-flat are sprinkled with lines of feelings that embody physical emotions that are buried in digital interactions. In the end, these photos are then processed through digital imaging, which decays the colors and rearranges the proportions to be ready to be presented as the final result.

As a mirror, this work tries to raise a question about the reality we live in now: to what extent does this digitalization affect our way of expression? Is there a shift in the way the body expresses the emotions that come to us? I realized later that in the current period, we tend to repress the physical form of emotion due to interactions that have shifted to digital mediums. There is a tendency to express emotions through micro-expressions because it is no longer important for the body to express those feelings; the vehicle for expression has been digitized. So now we often only seem to be silent, even though there are so many turbulent feelings. Aren't we now exploring a new form of emotion and expression? Let us explore these questions together.
