In this work, where I combine traditional and modern approaches, my aim is to remember, feel, and never forget the lived experiences of ancient cities.

Do you still feel the spirit of the ancient cities you have visited? When your hand touches a column, do you wonder who else has touched it and wish you could have witnessed it yourself? In this work, I depicted a modern tile panel using classical tile motifs. The reed path motif I used intertwines with the columns, stretching from the past to the present. It reveals that delicate bond between ancient times and today's life, inviting the viewer into a dream where two eras merge. In this work, ready-made ceramic bisque tiles were used. Under-glaze tile technique and over-glaze gilding were applied on the bisque. It was glazed with Kütahya tile glaze at 930 degrees.
