Psollution, a wordplay that is inspired by the life itself and the very core structure of it; the constant display of juxtaposition.  To us, life as we know it is the earth we live on. Not only we were created as random residents on it, but we were created as a part of its harmony, a crucial component of its beauty of contrasts.

Being a part of it is experiencing the cycle, and experiencing the cycle means being a part of it... A connection that forms naturally… Something so collective yet too personal to let go…

In his work, Psollution,  Mustafa Özkök ponders upon the beauty of the earth and living beings' deep connection to it, through his digital collage of distorted footages that highlights the juxtaposition of nature in its traditional sense and the human-made nature of the modern life.

Tolga Tres’ sound design on the video functions as a melodic commentary, nurturing the flow of the story by its blend of the real-life sounds from the nature and the urban life harmonized with suspenseful and emotional melodies.

By its simplistically surrealist approach to the idea of connectedness, Psollution aspires to ask one and only one question; In a world where everything is extremely interconnected in a way that creates an alluring harmony, wouldn’t a missing brick cause the collapse of it all?

The piece raises the question on the climate crisis by simply reminding how connected we are to the earth and how both the beauty and the fragility of it arises from it.
