Kendini Sabote Etme İmgeleri
Özet
In the structuring phase of the self, the individual who takes the role model of his/her
parents wants to feel safe, to be valued and to be approved by both the family and
the society. In the individual’s journey from childhood to adulthood, the inadequacy
of nutrition from the sources that will satisfy his/her spiritual and physical needs and
the traumatic experiences may lead to destructive and derogatory tendencies and
also the division during the phase of the construction of identity. The experience of
the divided self (real and false self) can prevent the individual from constructing both
his/her subjective and social position according to his/her own subjective wishes
and desires. This confrontation of subject between the real (self) and false (social)
can lead to self-sabotage tendency and cause many negative emotions (fear,
anxiety, anger, self-enclosed) and behaviors (self-realization), which turn into selfdestructive
violence and this may end up to the experience of identity that is distant
from the essence. In this study; it has been approached to the relationship between
the individual, who demonstrate the tendency of self-sabotage and the art that plays
a kinetic role to come out his/her conflicts about the self. This relationship will be
examined from the point of an artist, who uses the his/her own body as an art object
to defeat his/her self and reflects the spiritual conflicts in the inner world by using
images that bear the traces of the concept of self-sabotage. The effects of selfsabotage
on creativity and productivity will be identified with the artist and in
particular with the positive acquisitions, which brings to the art.
