A. Ceren Asmaz, makes surface evaluations regardless of material; she's working on the phenomenon of the modern age human. "Gopitholand", which was established as a parallel to the modern world, is a huge village that is constantly developing, diversifying and inhabited by living creatures. The inhabitants of this village, the Gopithos, appear as the small creatures that emerge while the artist tries to make sense of herself and the human being, as invisible individuals of the society, whether good or bad. For this reason, it is possible to come across a Gopitho drinking coffee on your next table on a rainy day, or a Gopitho to appear next to you when you need luck the most. It is possible that your boss who frowned upon you when you do wrong, or the owner of that cute smile you come across on the same bus every morning is also a Gopitho.
The purpose of the Gopitho's creation is not to idealize reality, but to try to understand and share life as it is. You surely have a Gopitho somewhere, or maybe you are someone's Gopitho.
