In this period, where social violence becomes more and more visible “Merciless”, presenting the fragile walls of the houses that are constantly damaged both physically and metaphorically, brings together the images belonging to the domestic and external living spaces under the same atmosphere.
Neriman Polat, referring to the social and urban corruption through the fragility of children and questioning the protected structure of the family concept, depicts houses lacking compassion. The brick wall built at the space reminds of the facades at the forgotten streets of the city and features a photo of a collapsed house. Patterns on the kids’ blankets that were transformed into dramatic images with a strong discourse thanks to the artist’s intervention, and the interior space painted into a familiar colour that is usually used in the kids’ room, expose the traces of a heartless world. Neriman Polat draws attention to the hopeless future by focusing on being silenced and gender codes with her reinterpreted drawings.
