Seashell

The section titled "Platonic Eros" refers to Plato's Symposium and the Neoplatonic theories about the "Form" as the archetype of all thoughts, concepts, things, and their reflections. This reflection, which appears incomplete and sinks deeper into the abyss of the material world, suffers and seeks to reunite with the fullness of the "Form." This process gives rise to "Platonic Eros". The artist selects various pairs of objects to illustrate this theory, categorizing them into three groups: the natural (stone, seashell, branch, tomato, carrot), the utilitarian (knife, fork, spoon), and the personal (toothbrush, wallet, key). Thus, during their presentation, there are two identical painted objects, in this specific case, two designs of a seashell, and between this pair of designs, a physical, real seashell is suspended.
