Raftel: Traveling Towards An Antique Land
2023
Raftel: Traveling Towards An Antique Land is Nuriman’s exploration of the body and the essence of being as Dasein where religious motifs are deconstructed into basic shapes in an attempt to generate new narratives. Set in a metaphysical space, Nuriman sees himself as a thinking-being seeking a place where Being is unconcealed, a kind of emancipation from power structures and the everydayness.
Before us is a place of contemplation where one is allowed to dwell on one’s consciousness, in realising their pursuit towards being-oneself.
“Now come fire,
Eager are we
to see the day” - Friedrich Hölderlin

The artwork is a visual expression of finding light in the darkness through distinctive layers. In the abyss of darkness, we wrestle with fears & sufferings. Viewers see an obscure image of a horse; however, a play of light reveals a new dimension to the horses– invoking emotive responses. The profound dark & light is a definitive fusion of emotion and sight which mirrors "From Fears to Dreams".
