SIRIUS

The Underwater, the Sky, the Stars and the Space...
Both the depths of the sea and space were a black, gravitational, dark void. Both were Space for me. There was a connection between them. It gave me the feeling that if we go deep enough in the sea, we can get out of there to the outer space.

I was starting to make abstract sculptures and this strong feeling from my childhood was struggling inside me to express it. How could I express this strong feeling?
My starting point was very simple. There were stars in the sky and sea stars in the depts of the sea that resemble them. I had to create such a star that I could express my feeling of going out into Space from underwater with such a metamorphosis. How could I express my feeling on this kind of metaphoric transformation?
I was determined that night when I decided to sit at my drawing desk and never leave until the soul of myfeeling had appeared on my mind and as a result, at the end of that night, I had the transformed star came out. 
All of my sculptures up until that moment were one-piece sculptures but this one had to be two pieces. First, I decided to make it in a small version to see how it went. I realized something strange as I had formed the sculpture into a 3 dimension; the upper part of the sculpture resembles a dog,perhaps more of wolf. As I started working on the actual size sculpture, I tried hard to take the look away from being a dog like... no matter how hard I tried, it kept coming back to the same form... I decided to accept this divine flow after fighting it for a long time.
3-4 months after I completed my work, I was having a conversation with one of my friends who writes about Art at CNN and whom I believe is a very high and powerful soul. Somehow, we ended up talking the stars and the Sirius. I knew how important of star Sirius was, in the history of the humankind. There were windows inside the temples in egypt that are directed only to Sirius. All the civilizations were pointing at this star. Cultured people already realized the importance of Sirius. But that I realized something I didn’t know before my friend shared this information with me.”Sirius is one of the star that has been a representative of symbolism,it has been symbolized as a DOG or a WOLF in esoteric disciplines”.
Everything was stopped for a while … while I was dreaming and sketching this statue,I was thinking of any star in the infinite universe,but I had unaware sculpted the SIRIUS..In this reality we exist, nothing is coincidence and everything is part of a divine plan.We are all connected…
