The Border Runs in The River, 2024, 25-piece installation, intervention with brush-ink and thinner on the photograph, plastic frame, 75x 180 cm, @daire sanat

The artist, who produces his works on the concept of border, sets out from a real experience as a continuation of his series in this project. With the opening of the borders in March 2020, the artist travelled to the Meriç river with refugees on his ‘journey of hope’ adventure. Drawing on her memories here, she started to analyse the state borders drawn by water. Throughout the Open Workshop programme, the artist explored the strategic importance of water as a commodity in international relations. His aim here was to explore the interaction of state borders with water basins. He also brought together a large number of landscape paintings by drawing images of these places. By emphasising the relationship between the natural beauty of water in landscape painting and the complexity of state politics, she aimed to move these drawings beyond individual landscape paintings and to characterise them as part of water and state politics.
