There are some things we have heuristically learned but forgotten when we grow old. Just like the skill to withdraw to one’s own space against intruder dominance of external reality, growing a dream as a resistance and sustaining our joy of living. Such that artistic creation is the most direct source that reminds us these lost skills.

In Planet Onston collection, artist Onston/Can Yeşiloğlu shares a universe that is shaped within his dreams and a universe where he feels happy to audience. What are the most prominent images of this imagination? Unity expanding from rhizome that surrounds the planet and reaches to sky from a giant tree. Peacefully intertwined structure of alive and dead, plant and animal, human and technique; a harmony that these structures are hybridised. Another world dream where there is no discrimination, speciesism, hate; where there is playfulness, joy and harmony. On such planet, cat and mouse can be friends, octopus and fish can fall in love.
