THE SUBJECT OF THE WORK

19.yy. when we look at the consumer culture we have been living in since then, we observe that this culture's perception of beauty, which leads to consumption, harms not only people, but all life in the world. The perception of beauty created by consumer culture is sometimes the fur of an extinct creature from human hands, sometimes the horn of another extinct creature, sometimes a pet whose gene structure has been modified in a laboratory environment, and many of them are turned into an object of consumption.


The point noted in the study is that living beings who are forced to live with various chronic ailments because their gene structures have been changed by human hands... The cat licking its paw in the picture relieves its pain by contacting the area where it hurts with its tongue, as do cats of the breed struggling with all these chronic ailments. This situation shows how much production for consumption and the perception of consumer beauty can evolve to a wild dimension. His approach, which reminds of these primitive periods of man, is identified with his ability to perceive the color green in the study and represents that his wild nature has been going on since those ages.
