The artist describes the New Language Series as follows:
"We think that we are the center of the world (COSMOS)! That is the reason that I decided to design pieces in the area of FASHION, which has made it possible for me to put the human body in the center of my pieces, as the center of the cosmos."

"The question is: Are we inside of an illusion that is going to lead us all to destruction?"

"The question is: Have we already been destroyed? Destroyed by hunger, dirt, stench, media chaos? All of this I have shown in the first piece (Panel 1 )using certain materials such as newspaper (association: media-happenings all over the world-cosmos), and a plastic bag that covers the lower part of my body (representing hunger and misery in the cosmos)."

"Woman? Woman gives birth! She has given birth for ages. Unfortunately, that is her only means of struggle and survival, which I explain with the suggestively shaped helmet on her head."

"Woman has to give birth to a common language between: Japanese, Bosnians, Greeks, Italians, Israelis, Croatians, Moroccans, Slovenians, Americans, Chinese, Turks, Canadians, Iraqis, Russians, Macedonians, Syrians, Germans, Yugoslavians, Libians, Monte Negroes, English, Australians, Albanians, French, Spaniards, Jews, Indians, Egyptians, New Zealanders, Tibetans, Afghans, Palestinians, Algerians, South Africans, Iranians, Mexicans, Pakistanis, Argentinians, Brazilians?"

"WOMAN IS HERE TO GIVE BIRTH TO A NEW LANGUAGE IN THE COSMOS!"
