10 STATEMENT Kapecci has continued exploring shapes, figures and colours while representing scenes from her everyday life that she transforms into surrealistic situations often in the form of diptychs. Kapecci is conversant in the use of such varied media as acrylic and oil painting, drawing, photos to produce her art. Her work is a sort of mental collage that would merge her everyday life, up-to-date news, mental imaginary, art history, design and fashion. In her painting project called The Transgenic Attack. She imagines with apparent irony the moment when Nature humiliated and modified by humankind, decides to take its revenge. It takes possession of the bodies of a multitude of frightened human beings that are being led through a sort of transgenic mutation. The seminal artworks (presented at the Aps Mdina Cathedral Contemporary Art Biennale 2017 in Malta) under the theme "The Mediterranean: A Sea of Conflicting Spiritualities" are titled "The PromiSSed land". The painted images depict the human aspect of the current immigration crisis happening throughout the Mediterranean. I feel that these works are expressive of the essence of the concept of "waiting" in all its forms. Here "waiting" is an elucidation of a psycological state, an internal turmoil of feelings arising while sitting in a boat that becomes an ephemeral "non-place". These works vividly express the many conflicting feelings that are intertwined with "waiting", such as good and evil or joy and confusion mingled with hope and anxiety for an unpredictable and uncertain future. The Promised land inevitably becomes a "pro-missed" land.
