An interest in language often involves its subversive potential. The works from the first part reflect behavioral patterns governed by violent discourse, where the aim was to document verbal violence within a visual gesture — subversive rhetoric lurks imperceptibly. Putting used kitchen cutting boards [or belts] into this context was logical: a material well-known yet without any specific significance, recognizable and timeless. Placed under a knife without hesitation, with the weight of the tools forced upon it to engrave marks, repetitive moves create a pattern — presenting the normalization of violence, and coexistence with it.
The works primarily intend to find a connection between subject, woman, and tradition — language and the misogyny detected within it. The research goes further back to decipher its social background in the past, and many examples are given within my thesis to inspect the narrative of addressing women.
