Abstract/geometrical shapes and lines to depict each part of the onions and linking to the feelings and experience when we first eat and smell. I attempted to think the best way of showing the emotions abstractly -There is a clear patterns on cells where it is formed in regular sizes and shapes which I think it is creating a simplicity rather than complexity.
I tried to represent the emotions that we get from the tastes and smell of the onion (chaos) and finding the relationship and differentiation with order where it represents visuality (surface and cell of the onion).
Final Piece
If we peel an onion, we can peel it in a smooth and regular shape on the surface. Accordingly, cells also have an organized pattern. However, if you eat onions for the first time, you can feel a rather shocking taste and smell. (It’s a twist) I wanted to show the fantasy and consequences of everything we first challenge and experience in geometrical shapes and lines.

Purpose
We don't look into vegetables with interest, nor do we know the shapes of onion cells. As I observed onions, I could see various structures and lines of cells. I wanted to depict those shapes by emphasizing patterns and different forms. I tried to convey that most things are invisible from a distance, and we need to take a closer look at certain things to truly understand them.
