The process of aging generates a sloughing of life that has been left behind. The shedding of the characteristics of a young body, which were inseparable from the person's body, marks the signs of time passing on the body and face of the aging person.
In our culture, with the phenomenon of ageism, the aging person is also stripped of privileges, respect, and belonging to society.
The sketching of aging images against the backdrop of flower photographs creates tension between the blooming, which, thanks to photography, remains preserved over time, and the withering and signs of change that have occurred and are visible in the images of aging. At the same time, the floral background also reflects the possibility of blooming and hope in aging existence.
Photography, according to Walter Benjamin, as the technique for creating the background in these works is not subject to the process of shedding . It is stable, remains as it is, and can be mechanically reproduced and replicated. This highlights the characteristics of the drawing technique itself, which is a unique, one-time, and fragile expression belonging to the ever-changing and passing reality.
