The interaction between nature and human beings is inevitable. During this interaction, it is the human's view of nature that makes nature visible from its own density and puts it in an order. As a result of the rapid and incalculable leap of the human being in the eco-system, whose place and situation today have been completely shaken, it has caused deadly wars, environmental disasters and many historical evils due to the eco-system's inability to make the necessary adjustments. Man and nature have come face to face many times. Conquering the world, first of all, with his own language, the human being thus accelerated his own extinction along with nature, and paved the way for the formation of global warming and many natural disasters today. Man has built this balance, which he has disturbed, with his own hands since his existence again. The world we live in is in a new geological age. The most distinctive feature of this age is that this change was caused by human activities, not geological activities. While the untouched areas in the livable world have decreased, the cultural and nature distinction that is believed to exist between the countryside shared with other living things has also eliminated. Because of this greed of man; In a world where the border between human and non-human has become tense, the traces left, the paths followed, the hegemonic relations, through capitalism, have led to the transformation of man's hegemony over man into eternal tyranny. Today, this tyranny is trying to fix and build these disasters that it has created with its own hands. The exhibition reveals how the person, trying to get his share of the cake of appreciation in the world, turned his harmonious past with nature, which he encountered while reconstructing the destruction, invasion and destruction he has carried out in this effort, against him.
