Abstract

In my art practice, I aim to question art issues related to community life. One of these questions is the relationship between art and the principles that guide human behaviour in society. I shaped the meaning of this work with two kinds of objects. One is an object used for decorative purposes, a slice of wood, while the other is a tool used by the police, a barricade tape. The purpose of the wood is to look pretty, and the tape aims to give a warning related to police officers’ activity. I collapsed the function of objects, creating a contrast. The idea of “contrast” comes after the visual practice used to develop pictures in the traditional Western way.
