MUHENGENIUS

Art

Told in pictures.

Slide sideways. The picture changes, and the story changes with it.

An empty ancient theater: a round stone stage, tiered seats, and trees beyond, in hard afternoon light.

Photography

The empty stage.

An old theater in the afternoon. The round floor is clear, the seats are stone, and nobody is speaking. The place was built to hold a story. For a moment it held only the light.

A person's shadow on tall green grass, one arm raised.

Photography

Only the shadow.

A figure in a green field, except the figure is not in the picture. One arm is up. The person stayed outside the frame, and the grass kept the pose.

A shaded courtyard with blue doors and handwriting covering the white walls.

Photography

The wall already said it.

Blue doors, whitewash, and sentences written across the plaster. The tables are set, and empty. The story was on the wall before anyone sat down.

Framed oil painting of a moon over snow-lit mountains and their reflection in dark water.

Oil painting

The moon, twice.

One moon over the mountains. Another in the water, softer, and a little broken. The painting is that second moon: what the night gives back.

The same oil painting standing on a wooden easel.

Oil painting

Off the wall.

The same night, standing in an ordinary room. A wooden easel, a plain wall, and the moon still in the frame. The painting does not need the dark to keep its story.

Cartoon

Already in print.

A cartoon published in Elektrik Mühendisliği, the magazine of EMO, the Chamber of Electrical Engineers. The joke has already been in print. The drawing itself is not on this page yet.

Where Time Bends cover: a gold line drawing over a night sea, with the name Muhengenius and the title underneath.

Graphic design

One stroke, then the name.

A gold line on a night sea. The name sits under it, and under that the title of the record. It has to read at the size of a thumbnail, so the drawing stays one stroke.
