For Green AntiBody (2020) Kahraman got inspired by Donna Harraway who said: “Our immune system is everywhere and nowhere”. The idea of constant flux is being approached by Kahraman in this work, in which body borders are intertwined with each other and overlap. Conceptually the main thought is that of inclusivity, of trying to think about how our body borders are actually permeable. They intersect with each other, there is a constant dialogue – the protagonists are moving forward in a direction led by the overlaid antibody symbol, suggesting a shift towards healing.
