THE RED -LIGHT ROOM, Jan van Eyck Academy, The Netherlands, Maastricht, 2000

 A wall has been cut with about a 1cm cut, in a square shape of 1 meter side. The left square sided volume has been left inside of the wall and has been supported by a transparent piece of plexiglass such as a thin layer of light could communicate, unite and pass between the inside and outside spaces. This situation of light has been envisioned such as the natural light could been seen inside during the daytime, while the artificial time could be seen outside during the night time.

The rest of the room has been painted in two spaces with red and white and two mirrors were placed to mirror, one of them precisely the cut and the passing light from outside - a round shaped one- while another one the outside landscape with a tree that was existing in front of the window of the studio were the work has been done - a long, rectangular shape mirror.

The work work had to do with sacrifice and had as a starting point the Romanian myth Meşterul Manole- the story of Ana.
