01.11.2024: Echoes by Suha Arda Soykan
In this exhibition, titled “Echoes”, I present works that capture ambiguous moments in time, etched into concrete. Though concrete is often seen as a hard and static material, for me, it is a surface that bears the marks of time and labor—a living, evolving canvas. Through both carving and drawing, I bring forth figures—women who appear as workers or activists, situated in industrial spaces—each one embodying traces of a time that is not clearly defined. These figures, fas if emerging from propaganda posters, are portrayed as integral parts of a continuous production process.
