Gloves

In life, people see, feel, remember and forget a variety of things. Of all things in his memory, the artist has the greatest interest in cotton work gloves. Cotton work gloves are different from fashion gloves. Commonly found around us, these work gloves make what your hands do more efficient. These gloves are easily thrown away after work is completed. Dirty gloves that you often see thrown out on the street are the ones used by someone which have the traces of work - holes, stains, etc. Shaped like human hands, gloves both destroy and restore things, which represents human behavior. Used gloves are thrown away or sometimes recycled. Gloves resemble humans, not only in its shape similar to human hands but also the fact that they are two-faced; they cover what human hands do and serve as a proof of it at the same time.But this giant cotton work glove cannot be worn by humans. This one seems to have fallen from the sky. Whose glove is this? It is certainly a used one. The environment is being polluted and damaged. Someone who was protecting and preserving the environment might have felt frustrated and thrown this glove away into the environment. This work makes the viewer imagine that someone may be sending a message to humans through this huge glove.

We humans have damaged the environment to which we belong and covered up the fact. Although some of us have made efforts to restore the environment, it is true that mistakes caused by our selfishness hurt the environment too often. When it reaches the limit, the purification of nature doesn't work. Feeling frustrated despite some efforts to restore the environment, the big hand of nature threw away its glove to humans. It is up to us whether this giant glove will be thrown out as garbage along with other gloves used by humans or this would alert us to the problem of environmental degradation and encourage us to wear it and work as the big hands for restoring and protecting the environment.
