Emerging when there is no Light (Hikari) to break the darkness; Shadow (Kâge)

*Kage; This word, which comes from Japanese culture, has had a meaning in my mind since I first discovered it, as all living beings hiding in the shadows and retreating into seclusion.

* This is the main basis of the series ‘Kâge’, in other words ‘Shadow’, which is the continuation of the series ‘Hikari’, in other words ‘Light’, and provides a meaning from a ‘reverse corner’.

A person is expected to do whatever he needs to do to fulfill his destiny. Even though he has a fire in his hand, a person continues to stay in the dark, but destiny is open to effort.  The moment a person remains in darkness, his soul blends with his shadow. He waits for a ray of light to touch him.

The blue portraits reflected here also describe this expectation. The torture of waiting inside, the reflection of fateful memories…

‘Kage; What does ‘The Dream Continues As Long As You Don’t Die’ mean?

The dream continues as long as you don’t die. For more than 1200 years, people have preferred to depict dark emotions on stone, clay, wood and coal, as if they were the expression of tortured people. “Kâge”, which means “Shadow” in Turkish, is the expression in art form of the psychological, mental and physical tortures experienced from past to present. Here you see the Kage series, which is a continuation of the Sufi series influenced by Sufism. From the artist’s language; ‘I could be looking into my own future. Until the real future falls from the sky. Fateful formations and dream ties are spiritual symbols here.’

‘Kage; What does ‘You Covered Me, You Turned Off the Light’ mean?

‘Kage; What does ‘nuance’ mean?

Kage; This word, which comes from Japanese culture, has had a meaning in my mind since I first discovered it, as all living beings hiding in the shadows and retreating into seclusion.

You know that where there is no light, there is no shadow.
I could be looking into our own future.
Until the real future falls from the sky.
The reality that lives in the shadow is a reflection of the original.
Kage; If you hide, you hide, if you don’t look, you can’t see, if you run away, you can’t reach the Light. Kage; is the shadow.
