Untitled World (working title)

Category EMERGING ARTISTS

Untitled World is a work that explores sensitivity as a way of looking more deeply into oneself and the surrounding world. It questions structures in which sensitivity is often perceived as a weakness and offers an alternative perspective: a space where tenderness becomes a source of strength, and openness lays the foundation for freer, more empathetic human relationships.

Empathy is c*nt
Basic respect is c*nt
Pure love and kindness are c*nt
Generosity is c*nt
Meaningful relationships outside of romance are c*nt
Good deeds without expecting anything in return are c*nt

While creating this work, I began with the theme of sensitivity as a way of looking at oneself without filters — allowing oneself to unfold within what is fragile, uncomfortable, yet essential. It became a quiet gesture of opening up, an invitation into an inner world where sensitivity is not a weakness but rather a way of seeing more deeply, understanding more fully, and feeling closer — both to oneself and to others.

Sensitivity revealed itself to me as the ability to look beneath the surface — to perceive not only the outlines of a situation, but also its tensions, contradictions, and silences. Yet the deeper I delved into this subject, the clearer it became that sensitivity only becomes a problem within patriarchal structures that refuse to acknowledge or value it. Toxic masculinity often hides behind masks of strength, control, and silence, suppressing sensitivity as if it were a threat rather than a source of value.
