About this artwork
The fossil is surrounded with the In this art work, in a figurative way, I wanted to emphasize that the genocide has been going on from the past to the present with an example of extinct mammoth. The mammoth fossil in the center is in the form of a skeleton, its ivory remains in a white color, highlighting the fact that this creature is slaughtered for the most valuable part of it and it is still valuable for the people nowadays.
red triangular pieces,… representing the spears of human who slaughtered this creature, while the green color reflects the nature which they lived in.
The outermost dark frame represents the human rights of this creature are restricted by humans. I tried to express that millions of men, women and children have lost their lives in genocide by giving example of same genocide that mammoth experienced. The wood I used in this art work is handmade to the finest details. The ivory of the mammoth are made of a single piece of wood.

Today, his primary focus is on presenting the synthesis between East and West, communicating this through a range of themes including political, environmental and spiritual topics. Akay mainly works with wood, allowing its unique energy to guide him, but also frequently experiments with new techniques to endow each artwork with a fresh expression.
