This World and Life are not one-sided, not even two-sided, as in black and white photography. They contain everything possible and impossible. Art and creativity, in general, are attempts to reproduce this rational and irrational reality as adequately as possible, but each time, it depends on what methods are used in the process of this action. When we think about the absence that is the common basis of our disappointment and unhappiness as human beings, this is no longer enough to cope with reality because what it is is already overwhelming.
Using different methods, visual artists and composers define and communicate the presence of absence. Through a dialogue with the viewer and listener, they complete the void of absence so that the expressing and expressed world ceases to be dual; it becomes one and complete. Art then becomes the presence of absence.Â
