In the company of Sigmund Freud

In the company of Sigmund Freud

In the company of Sigmund Freud

This series serves as a point of departure for exploring the inner nature of the human being. The reference to Sigmund Freud does not function as an illustration of psychoanalytic theory, but rather as an approach to what exists beyond control — within the realm of the repressed, the suppressed, and the unconscious.

Emotions in this series exist outside conventional emotional logic. They are not explained through external circumstances and resist rational interpretation. Instead, they emerge as autonomous states shaping the individual’s inner reality. Anxiety, depression, despair, introversion — are not presented here as diagnoses or deviations, but as modes of existence in which a person remains alone with oneself. The figures are deprived of external action. They are not directed outward; their movement turns inward.

This is a space where tension finds no release and emotion has no possibility of escape. It is precisely here that the condition emerges for the next stage — the attempt to construct a structure capable of containing this inner tension. The final work, “Who am I?”, captures the moment when neither internal states nor external structures can provide a stable answer. This is not a search for identity. It is the point at which identity itself, in its former understanding, becomes impossible.
