"Plate" is an evocative mixed media composition that merges structured precision with expressive abstraction, exploring the tension between permanence and transience. The monumental presence of an architectural fragment, suspended in vast darkness, suggests an artifact detached from time—an echo of history adrift in the present. The Bosphorus, faintly illuminated in the distance, serves as both a geographical and symbolic threshold, hinting at cultural intersections and shifting narratives. The textured depth of the composition, achieved through a meticulous layering of materials, enhances its sculptural quality. Rich blacks and subtle highlights lend a luminous, almost dreamlike presence to the scene, evoking the sensation of something simultaneously dissolving and enduring. Plate is not just an image; it is an invitation to reflect on the fragility of civilizations, the weight of history, and the profound silence of time.
