Death Is an Act of Survival

Installation | Mixed media | Various size, 2019

The work is about impulsivity on suicidal ideation and my attempt to overcome it. The work reflects my personal experience as I’ve been through depression and suicide impulse several years ago. I created a suicidal package in two different versions; imaginary and realistic version. 

Death is an irreparable loss. But death and loss are an integral part of life everywhere. The death brings on feelings of anger, abandonment, guilt, sadness, and loss.The death of the people around me and my anxiety and insecurity from depression affected my emotional state. There is a causal link between death and fear and freedom.


By using a real-life belonging as a material, it plays the role of a metaphor and reflection. Everyday objects become the artist’s subject, these include everything and anything from jewellerys, make-ups, iphone, to pills and syringe. Each object is placed to function as a suicidal tool.

The object which has been overlooked before has power by adding a new perception. This is the moment when the most common objects and gesture are the most suspicious.
