The woman sees her beauty, elegance, and charm through the mirror. The mirror is the confrontation field of the individual who is fascinated or destroyed by her own image. What is seen in this field is between reflection and reality. Although the person reflected in the mirror is usually a woman, it can also appear as a confrontation field for a man who uses the woman as an object. At this point, the mirror carries an indirect reference to the use of the woman as a sexual commodity. The man hates his own action and shatters his reflection in the mirror. The confrontation of the cheated, raped woman with the mirror is not active like that of the man. Passive actions in the form of hiding and moving away correspond to the woman's otherness and positioning by the patriarchal order in the mirror.

Soutine, lived between 1893-1943, and he is considered the pioneer of abstract expressionism with his paintings which he produced in Paris. He was obsessed with the influence of Rembrandt's "Slaughtered Ox" painting at the Louvre Museum. The theme in this study seeks an answer to the question of how the intense deformity seen in Soutine's paintings and the creative desire that causes him to attack the canvas with a brush can be observed with intense physical pain and spiritual traumas and how can it be grasped in that clarity where the truth is opened by exceeding the level of representation. In addition, Francis Bacon and Damien Hirst, who continue the same theme in their works after Soutine, will examine where they left Soutine in their works using carcass and dead animals and how they instrumentalize this theme at the level of representation.
