I created a private utopia for myself to heal my emotions. In different times, spaces and places, the colors reflected by the soap bubbles are re-constructed to create special memories about specific places, people, and cities. Mainz Nr.5 This work was created during my first month in Mainz when I was in this city. The work contains many local elements such as the Main River and the sky bridge. Impressions, the wind by the river, the yellowish horizon and all the colors from nature have re-formed a new welcome image in my world. The important thing is that this special place is my personal and unique private space during the epidemic. Different experiences and memories have shaped each fresh life, and this is my special memory fragment, and it is precisely these that have shaped the unique me.
