While the artist included surreal compositions in her “myth” series, she was influenced by the surrealism art movement. While she situates the works she produced between dreams and reality on the logical plane of her stories, while she reconstructs herself with unexpected contiguities and inconsistencies, she also places the apple metaphor, which we encounter in creation myths, mythology, myths and tales, into her stories. The apple, which is shown as the cause of expulsion from heaven in the creation myth of humanity, comes to life again in the stories depicted by the artist. The apple myth has a feature that continues its existence from the past to the present as an image in the myths, holy books and fairy tales. In fairy tales, the apple used as the main character of the hero before the change was a harbinger of change. In the fairy tale of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the apple that the queen witch caused her to eat, caused the princess to change her life. Of course, as at the end of every fairy tale, three apples fall from the sky, one goes to the teller, one to the listener, and the other to the owner of the tale. Myths, as the products of the collective unconscious, are a model that carries the elements of human culture while appearing before us. In the early periods, the myths, which were transmitted orally from generation to generation in the form of narratives, also appear in surrealist paintings with the creative feature of the human mind and spirit. The artist still continues to feed on the myths and tales created by her mind and soul. Dila Tanrıkulu's works bring the audience face to face with her own myths on a surreal plane, each with its own fairy tales, as it sometimes hangs on the wing of a bird and rises to the sky, and ends right next to the apple, which is also a symbol of wisdom.
