The collection "Perhaps, It Was Me..." revolves around the "metaphysics of absence." Absence is not merely a negative phenomenon but rather a positive one that demands mourning and active engagement.
Therefore, the artist actively engages in exploring absence, both where it exists and where it is narratively revisited, inviting viewers to interpret and contemplate from their own perspectives. Mina's work isn't merely a thematic exploration of absence; she is a holistic artist.
Whether utilizing alternative printing to evoke a holistic summoning of absence or viewing mourning as an aesthetic act, it's all due to her active presence in mourning. Another significant aspect of the "Perhaps, It Was Me..." collection is its allegorical nature.
Behind the use of personal imagery or familiar elements like the sea lies an invitation for viewers to join in, pulling the works out of their personal mold and transforming them into a collective issue.
