Artist Statement
"But Still, Like Dust, I'll Rise" was painted as part of a larger body of work in reaction to the political unrest in Turkey. Inspired from news coverage of events across the globe, these images are twice-removed from the original event and rupture, reinvented and reframed as novel visuals that speak not of a single event but carry vestiges of protest that can apply to protest as a concept and ideology. Erasing the colours of flags and the emblems of the police forces, the image’s hints for who, when, and where it depicts are blurred - the image could belong anywhere: Thus the image is both unmade and reinvented, protest is universalized, a new artwork addresses protest as a meta-critique.
