The abstract photographs are reminiscent of fantastic, alien dwellings that are composed of either individual forms lacking depth or are compositions of a variety of flowers, fruits, vegetables or liquids of an organic nature to form more complex dimensions. The setups are meticulous arrangements by Öncü with a persevering sensitivity to color. Color and texture is the pivotal concern for Öncü’s latest series. In an attempt to enhance the visual and sensual qualities, Öncü hunts for the richest colors in nature; experiments with boiling flowers and leaves. As many as there are identifiable objects, there are those that are rare and hard to determine. They are intermingled with oozing fluids in different states of viscosity. Due to the changing states of the subjects, the final frame is the result of a careful selection process. Thus, unlike still life photography, Öncü’s photographs require movement.
Simultaneously taking and giving space, Öncü accomplishes a fluid movement that holds and stays in the photographic image. It is a stream of consciousness that flows and does not ask for understanding but of absorption.
