How much is it?

Money, which is able to transform everything into a single exchange unit over itself, has created today's language. Culture has been effected from this transformation as well. In this work, the ironic togetherness of traditional motif as a form and the money as a material proposes the reversal of this transformation.

How much is it? - 2

While transforming all the values into a single unit was an idea for "How much is it?" this transformation itself became the "How much is it? - 2". It's been seen that the money as an art material couldn't part from it's very meaning when the work faces with audience and daily reality. At this point, concept of "stealing money" or "damaging an art-work" become blurry.
