Bones and shoes are what remains of Hazara's genocide. These two important elements play a unique role in the survival
of Hazara's people. Bones in the cemetery for the future generations if not burned and shoes are an important element in identifying them by their relatives If the Kabul municipality did not throw them all in trash.

Hazara's bone arrangement is a retelling of the signs of a genocide. The artist puts the remains of the genocide on top of each other to be the voice of the victims.

The stacked shoes are the fallen voices of Hazara's people who are in danger of being eliminated. Thousands of souls have been piled up many times in the land of Afghanistan.

"Hazara's bone" is a protest against the targeted killing of Hazara people.

The performance of Deadly Words deals with racism in the strata of Austrian society. In this performance, the artist brings racist words and sentences, which he has directly or indirectly experienced and seen in the past years to the stage. Those words that he hears every day in the bus, train, supermarket, virtual space, workplace, and society. Words and sentences that have several layers. Sentences wrapped in beautiful colored paper and delivered to colored people. Words that reflect the racism that has permeated the veins and bones of Austrian society.

Every day when I wake up and intend to leave the house, I feel the mental pressure of facing these words. As if I am going to a big war. I put on my armor and prepared to face racism. Society insists that I remain a refugee forever. I will be an immigrant forever. To be a foreigner forever. They don't want to accept real me. They insist on saying that I am "other". They don't consider me an artist except in the subjects related to Afghanistan, related to the war. They don't want to see me as an artist or a person without etiquette.
Racism has many hidden layers. Many times people do not know that their words are racist. They have good intentions, but they are racist. In this performance, I tried to engage the audience with this issue.
My reaction to racist words and sentences was severe body tremors, tears, and bleeding from a part of my body. The audience was truly an audience and no one tried to stop the racist words of others. No one notice my bleeding.
