Path of Water

This installation features sculptures that evolve in shape and size through a two-dimensional molding process. Using irregular textured, snapped pieces are created, while the main form holds a more fluid outline. The work symbolizes fluidity and ongoing transformation, exploring the possibilities of molding and sculpting.

Drawing from Altaï mythology, I reimagine the creation of the universe, beginning from a vast expanse of water, and focus on the significance of symbols in Turkish and Anatolian carpet motifs that we can trace back to the Central Asian steppes where shamans practicing still their beliefs around these deities, these experimentations with different mediums explores the concepts of transformation and cycle through sculpture and mold techniques. By utilizing water-based printing methods such as screen printing and marbling, I aim to reinterpret the symbolic meanings of traditional Anatolian carpet motifs with a contemporary approach.       

Highlighting the fluidity and potential for change inherent in materials, I create experimental works that emphasize the continuous movement of art. In this project, where traditional craftsmanship and modern techniques intersect, I seek to reveal the creative and transformative power of water through various mediums and artistic explorations.
