This text unlike all other texts I have seen on the walls of galleries is neither intellectual nor written out of exaggeration; It`s my confession!

When it comes to important discussions & future advices given by others no one ever told me I might feel a sense of obliviousness after any kind of attempt. This censorship seems to be happening all the time.

There is always talk about endeavor or moving forward & parents are always imagining a brighter future for us the children which is a result of our active & pursuit toward happiness. Well done to them for playing their role as parents so well but the point is that unfortunately things don`t always end up the way they want it to.

Today reality is something completely different than what they imagined for me.

One day I decided to tell the truth; something that is unfortunately not followed very often in my culture & this exhibition is my hard endeavored sweat to tell the truth about a small part of my life.

These beautiful or ugly portraits are stories of girls who have occupied parts of my life & mind during the past few years. They gave me sudden longing & excitement & all at once they disappeared or I should say I wanted they gone.

Today I would like to share my feeling or emptiness as a result of these contacts, with you the audience.

In addition I would like you to know that I have visualized these faces the way that I wanted them to be not the way the really are.
