Emit Pool
A/i/nsects, (2020)
Emit Pool (they/them) dreamed up a series of colorful insects to fight for their survival. They consider insects as beautiful and important beings, no matter if everyone understands their value. All insects have a right to live happily. These works reflects on Emit Pool’s personal experiences of devaluation and discrimination associated with their physical appearance and sexual orientation. The insects carry the first names of non-binary Turkish artists who are heroes to them. These actors gave a voice to a prosecuted community. They hope that their A/i/nsects can do the same for the insects of the world.
