Amoebas Realm: Relic Series
Survival
Every relic is evidence of a battle once fought for survival.
-
The Relic Series explores the earliest encounters between humanity and the colossal amoebas of the Amoebas Realm. Presented as trophies, artifacts, and fragments of collective memory, these works reflect how knowledge emerges through observation, fear, and adaptation. Much like folklore and oral traditions, each relic preserves a lesson passed from one generation to the next.
Invisible Monster 12
Rooted in a Turkish folkloric tale passed down through generations, where Djinns could be caught with a safety pin. This work explores how stories evolve into cultural knowledge. It reflects the transmission of beliefs and the human tendency to explain the unknown through narrative.
Invisible Monster 12 incorporates a traditional wood-bending technique that allows the wood to curve naturally from top to bottom. Rather than lying perfectly flat against the wall, the piece gently bends outward, embracing the inherent movement and vitality of the material. This deliberate curvature creates a parallel between the living nature of wood and the Djinn enclosed within it, suggesting a presence that continues to inhabit and subtly shape the form from within. -
Logbook of a Digger - No 919
Many days have passed since I unearthed the first discovery. I’m just a digger, yet something about being the one to reveal it feels significant. Or maybe I just want to believe I’m special...
As the excavation continued, we uncovered a perfectly square cavern. Strange beings were affixed to the walls, as if they had always been there, silently watching. Among them, one stood out. It seemed sealed tightly, almost as if it didn’t want to be disturbed. But when we finally managed to free it, I couldn’t shake the feeling—it was fading, as though it had been holding on for far too long.
