The installation titled “Below” presents a segment from the artist’s extensive work called “Along the River,” which centers around the Kızılırmak River. In the “Vantage Point” photo installation, also born from the same project, the artist focuses on their own experience during a journey along the river. In this installation, the artist places the viewer’s experience and the river at the center, exploring the river’s origin, the path it traverses, and the elements it contains. Through photography, sound installation, collected rock samples from the region, and a river map brought to life using copper wire, the artwork offers a profound insight into the various layers beneath the freshwater, creating a highly sensory and symbolic space within the gallery.
