At the beginning of the project I took the chaos within the order as the goal of my research, As, later, I began to focus on the catastrophe that humans face together - for example, health disasters such as covid-19. natural disasters such as earthquakes or tsunamis. I use a disaster diary to construct a process in which we, as human beings, go from broken and chaotic to hope and reconstruction in the aftermath of a catastrophe. The protagonist of the diary can be each of us. When wandering around in the wasteland after the catastrophe, each object that I find, which is my project itself, symbolizes a different state of being, from the initial destruction to the recovery of hope. Ultimately the rebuilding of our faith and home. I simultaneously want to praise the great resilience of human beings in the face of catastrophe, and the strength to rebuild everything in a collapse.
