there is no ocean between us - Ahmet Öğüt

Actual physical meetings take place with caution, safety distance and usually only in small groups during the ongoing pandemic. The artist Ahmet Öğüt captured these situations in drawings titled there is no ocean between us. In 2014, he designed a banner for Labor Day on May 1st, on which a woman can be seen, whose nose and mouth are covered, thus showing parallels to the present time. The presentation is reminiscent of current encounters in public places, but the partial masking results from a completely different motivation.
