Residency project:

I will travel with what remains of my destroyed home.

"The project I will travel with what remains of my destroyed home deals with the bond that unites humans to their homeland. Through my personal experience, I engage with the notion of displacement and exile in my artistic practice. I explore themes of war, siege and destruction, but also reconstruction as an act of resistance. I approach the concept of homeland and native land not as a geographical space, but as a collective memory and consciousness rooted in the individual and society. I draw inspiration from my own experiences and those of the people around me who have faced the loss of their homes and rebuilt them despite the difficult challenges that surround us.

In this project, which began in 2021 and was interrupted by the war, I use sculpture as a means of expressing visual and spatial memory. Clay and plaster are the two main materials. Clay symbolises the earth, roots and belonging, while plaster reflects the fragility of a brittle structure. But it is also a material used for restoration and plastering, making it a metaphor for rebuilding life after destruction.

For the residency, I want to develop a series of sculptures that reflect the process of reconstruction, taking shapes and compositions from demolished houses and reshaping them using a mixture of clay and plaster. At the same time, I would like to develop new images using engraving (no engraving press equipment is required) and other printing techniques. This printing project revolves around map printing, which ties in with my interest in the theme of visual memory. The aim of this project is to convey images and memories of places and houses that have disappeared, using the testimonies of people who remember the details of the places that existed before they were reduced to rubble."
