Transcendental knowledge and sensations are inherent in all of us, and since childhood, we learn how to perceive and understand what surrounds us. However, what we often learn is to see and feel superficially, getting stuck in the surface without delving into layers, limiting our entire perception mechanism to what appears to be. The artist, aiming to direct us towards looking beyond the surface and understanding ourselves better, suggests that nothing we see is just a mere appearance. Through her works, she creates a space for questioning, saying that there is much more inside that needs to be seen and read.

In her works, the artist forms a transcendental motif by starting from intricate details, leaving room for a new way of reading and confronting details. To allow for a better view, she presents a confrontation with the layered female body and identity, emphasizing that there is much more to see as it is. In the large details she uses, layers become more visible, and even identity takes the form of a motif.

The artist's language in her works, reflecting the transition from individual psychology to social psychology, tends towards unifying the expression and emotion of the hybrid. She provides details, decrypts them. In fact, she divides looking at the body with a curtain by revealing and hiding, with hidden meanings and layers. She delays it. Even though the body is covered with identity, it becomes a whole with the stories leading to identity. It exists. It becomes readable together. Gökçe Er focuses on the visual motif in the main theme of her works, treating every detail as if it were a motif. She questions our perception mechanism and how we perceive reality.
