Mehmet Resul Kaçar, whose name art lovers will remember from the 2019 edition of Mamut Art Project, relays the negative change in the world from the past until today from the perspective of nature and animals. The most striking point of his is the fluidity of the roles and figures on a standard theme (a field of wheat) in the background. In a rugged landscape, in this violent-barren sphere, his paintings depicting human and animal conflict reminds the audience of figures in a struggle with rulership and sometimes in a position of rulership themselves.
