Asli Özok's painting series Democracy reacts to the global catastrophes and wars. Through these artworks, Özok conveys the ideals of freedom and justice within the turbulent context of tanks and conflict. The series features the portrayal of an anonymous woman, symbolizing society as a whole. This vulnerable presentation highlights the complete transparency of the woman, in stark contrast to the tanks that rely on their protective metal shells. In a satirical twist, Özok embellishes the tanks with Swarovski beads, commenting on the glamorization of war and violence.
