“Translucent Metamorphosis” is an immersive installation that draws inspiration from the captivating transformation of sake bottles into glass stones. The installation, situated within the intimate space of a fisherman’s house, invites viewers to witness the profound beauty that emerges from the process of metamorphosis. Suspended from fish nets delicately hung from the ceiling, the broken sake bottles take on a new life as fragments of glass stones, showcasing the power of transformation and the poetic allure of imperfection.

Above the suspended bottles, a carefully positioned light source casts a mesmerizing spectrum of colors onto the floor, creating a captivating dance of vibrant shadows. The interplay of light and shadow adds an ethereal quality to the space, enticing viewers to explore the intricate details of the installation. As the colorful shadows shift and evolve, mirroring the ever-changing nature of life, the installation prompts contemplation on the ephemeral and transient aspects of our existence. “Translucent Metamorphosis” celebrates the transformative power of time, reminding us of the inherent beauty that arises from embracing change and finding solace in the delicate and delicate imperfections that define our journey.

When audiences standing on the right side of the installation encounter a linear arrangement of three closed doors, evoking a sense of barriers and limitations.

This land art installation consists of two primary elements: a trio of doors salvaged from the aftermath of the February 2023 earthquake in Adiyaman, Turkey, and a set of three mirror panels. These components come together to create an immersive experience that challenges and transforms the viewer's perspective. Those standing on the right side encounter a linear arrangement of three closed doors, evoking a sense of barriers and limitations. Conversely, individuals approaching from the left are met with a distinct viewpoint—a harmonious alignment of three mirror panels that seamlessly reflect the beauty of nature.

This installation encourages viewers to reflect on their own interpretations of reality and the dynamic role they play in shaping their perspectives. It serves as a metaphor for the resilience and adaptability of those who experienced the earthquake in Adiyaman. Just as the installation transforms from closed doors to a reflection of nature, so too do individuals adapt and find new perspectives amidst the challenges and upheavals in their lives. In this way, the artwork pays tribute to the indomitable spirit of those who, in the face of adversity, seek solace and renewal through the lens of resilience and hope.
