            The artist’s work titled “I’ve Got the Power,” created through the BStart Project Fund, is a statute of a rhino with a height of over 3.5 meters, revealing its metaphor thanks to its impressive presence. The rhino refers to dominant societal mechanisms of power, and some societies believe that its horn has aphrodisiac effects. There is a point in the statute where we witness the elongated horn of the rhino plunge into its own body, thus transforming into masculine power, energy, potency / impotency, with the horn resembling the phallus and the rhino rearing up with such pain as the horn pierces the body.

             Every play creates a provisional and limited space. Within such boundaries, a unique and absolute order prevails, and then order is required as such. The slightest violation of such order spoils the play. Berat Işık, in his work where he visualizes the concept of power domination through a symbol,pursues violations of this order. Expressing the tension of power in an efficient manner, he uses play aseither representation or struggle. Huizinga mentions that struggle and representation as two functions are interrelated: play is a representation ofstruggle, but also, play is a struggle of representation.
