Timing the exhibit for the beginning of summer was intentional. “snake, time” coincides with the time of year a snake sheds its skin.

The artist, who grew up in Urfa, reminisces her own childhood games with these skins, likening our emotions to skins we carry around, with our angers, frustrations, jealousies, yet with no courage to shed them, unable to be as brave as a snake risking starvation and death in its process of renewal. We escape, afraid to face ourselves, to face the heavy consequences, but dying a thousand fold through our fears.
