LIFE IS SHAPED BY THE DELICATE FABRIC OF OUR MEMORIES. THE SERIES HUZUR İÇİNDE YATSIN IS A VISUAL NARRATIVE THAT QUESTIONS THE TRACES OF THE PAST AND THE MEANING OF LOSS. THE ARTIST, BY FOCUSING ON UNCLE SADETTİN’S LAST BELONGINGS, EXPRESSES HIS PERSONAL GRIEVING PROCESS THROUGH AN AESTHETIC LENS. THIS WORK EMERGES AS A RESISTANCE AGAINST THE COLDNESS OF FORGETTING.

THE BLACK-AND-WHITE AESTHETIC USED IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS BUILDS NOSTALGIA, WHILE THE ABSENCE OF COLOR AIMS TO BRING TO LIGHT THE DETAILS OF THE PAST THAT FADE AWAY. THE CONTRAST IN THE IMAGES REFLECTS THE EMOTIONAL TRANSITIONS BROUGHT BY LOSS. ALTHOUGH UNCLE SADETTİN'S PHYSICAL PRESENCE HAS DEPARTED, HIS SPIRIT CONTINUES TO STAY WITH US.

HOWEVER, THIS WORK ALSO SERVES AS A CALL TO THE POWER OF REMEMBRANCE AND THE PERMANENCE OF MEMORIES. THE CANVAS TEXTURE TRANSFORMS THIS PIECE FROM MERELY A PHOTOGRAPH INTO A PORTRAIT, A PAINTING, AND EVEN A REQUIEM.

THE ITEMS CAREFULLY SET ASIDE BY UNCLE SADETTİN DURING HIS LAST YEARS ARE PARTS OF HIS LIFE STORY. THE SILENT WITNESS OF THESE BELONGINGS HAS BEEN PHOTOGRAPHED AS A REPRESENTATION OF THE MARKS HE LEFT IN THE WORLD, EVEN AFTER HIS DEATH.

HUZUR İÇİNDE YATSIN IS NOT ONLY A PERSONAL MEMORIAL BUT ALSO HOLDS UNIVERSAL SIGNIFICANCE FOR ANYONE WHO HAS EXPERIENCED LOSS. EACH VIEWER CAN FIND ECHOES OF THEIR OWN GRIEF WITHIN THIS WORK.

LIFE IS A JOURNEY, AND DEATH IS THE CONTINUATION OF THIS JOURNEY ON ANOTHER PLANE. THIS SERIES SEEKS TO FIND MEANING IN THE AESTHETICS OF LOSS AND AIMS TO REBUILD THROUGH THE POWER OF REMEMBRANCE.

HUZUR İÇİNDE YATSIN IS A TRIBUTE TO AHMET SADETTİN KAYNAK; IT SHOULD BE READ AS A RESISTANCE AGAINST TIME AND A POEM DEDICATED TO MEMORIES.

REST IN PEACE
