According to Deren Ümit; The ingenuity of technology confronts people with their shortcomings and obstacles. He is constantly preoccupied with his faults. What should be understood by 'defect' here is always a feeling of incompleteness. He often follows technology without question, at the expense of parenting it, in order to see a different reflection of the human being. With its accumulation, the journey of technology continues from another place by going to a different dimension after a point, making its own criticism, producing solutions. In this respect, technology is always a child. In Deren Ümit's paintings; deficiencies in our soul are wanted to be emphasized.
