In my opinion, we have animals inside us, each of which is responsible for a certain kind of moral and personal characteristic of us. In this artwork, I tried to encounter the animals of my subconscious mind with my consciousness.
Simply put, I felt weak and guilty when I painted this painting. Doing a few wrong things caused me to feel guilty, and I resort to painting out of helplessness. I thought to myself that the reason for my actions was my animal and sensual temperament, and although there was a higher spirit within me, I could not overcome my lower self. But despite all this, I tried to love myself and make a pact of friendship with the animals inside me, which were the symbol of my inferior soul and asked them to help me. I could not portray this request, and since creating this artwork was more of a cure for myself, I emptied my mind by writing instead of painting. The creation of this work was aimed to be art therapy, and I assure you that it had significant positive effects on me.
“Part of the text of the work: Guys, I’m not feeling well, I need help. You have to help me. I became dependent on someone who did not exist. I need her. Guide me from within. I’m confused. I did not care about my inner feelings; I did not care about myself….”
