Helin, Tattoo on the Body (Photo Documentation), Freehand, 2024
“When I saw this enormous project of Özge's, I was at a time when I was lost and couldn't find my balance. Without even thinking about it, I felt that I had to be present in this project. When I met with Özge and she explained the main idea of this project in detail, I realized why I was there. Without talking to Özge in detail, I left my body to her, and with the energy that emerged from the moment she first touched the brush, I realized that we were both in a common flow and I let myself go completely. From the brush strokes she touched my body, I realized that the tattoo I would carry would be a light, a path for me. During that time period, both Özge and I completely let ourselves go with the flow. After Özge's last touch on my body, we confirmed together, eye to eye in the mirror, that we had created a work symbolizing flow and balance by feeling it from the beginning and creating a collective energy. I will wear my tattoo with love for the rest of my life as I believe it has a message and healing power that will remind me every time I look at it. I am glad I had the chance to take part in this project. And Özge; I wish more people come together with your magic hands, brush and beautiful energy!”
