The Cosmos & Chaos Series addresses the process by which society and the individual construct their position through ever-new contexts, employing a distinct mode of thought and production technique. In the series, traditional motifs exist as a "visual language" pointing to familiar modes of production, established orders, and the tools through which power makes itself visible. These motifs dissolve, transforming into geometric or organic abstract forms that reference the accelerating, fragmenting, and constantly renewing process of the contemporary world. Even when viewed from a distance, it is clearly apparent that the old has been shattered, and that power, language, and forms of representation have assumed new shapes, transforming into different forms.

The works address the processes of "existing order – threshold / rupture – reconstruction" within a single composition. In the first phase, traditional motifs represent the fixed order; in the second phase, the threshold moment where form begins to dissolve while still remaining legible. In the third phase, the dissolution does not remain a mere dispersal, but instead generates an entirely new order through a new rhythm. In this way, the process ceases to be a fixed explanation bound to a single reference. It transforms into a state that circulates on the surface, continuously being reconstructed. The production technique used in the works forms the foundation of what is being conveyed. In the wet-on-wet technique, each drop of ink spreads according to its own flow. Each time, a new possibility, a new distribution emerges. My intervention is limited to establishing the ground and boundaries within which this flow will take place. The ink moves independently of my consciousness, yet can only exist within the boundaries I have consciously drawn. This dilemma stands alongside the questions brought to the fore today by large data networks and artificial intelligence. Is production possible without consciousness? What are its limits? In the works, each drop of ink behaves like an individual. The encounters and juxtapositions of individuals construct the composition — that is, the "social whole." Yet it is impossible to foresee how they will evolve or what form they will take. For this reason, Cosmos & Chaos exists not only through the totality of the work, but through the production process itself.
