The series of works entitled Muse that is inspired by Plato’s quote, ‘The sun’s body is seen by everyone, its soul by no one’ and depicts the artist attempts to reflect the sun with a mirror in the scope of the camera: her attempt to materialize the light by reflection asserts a metaphor of being and nonexistence. Her movement displays as several ghost-like figures in the mountain, desert and forest proliferate and zoom out, getting further from the camera while she carries a 50 x 50 cm mirror. She reflects the light in various distances until a tiny star-like light becomes visible. The function is remarkable as it is done by intention: a tiny reflection leads to reflexion and creates various layers of meanings.
