Following themes she frequently explores in her works, such as personal encounters as well as events, objects or situations that we consider ordinary in daily life, the artist departs from a naval accident in her present work.
The installation depicts the parties in the accident that resulted in the 225-meter-long carrier Vitaspirit shattering the 18th-century Hekimbaşı Salih Efendi Mansion on April 7, 2018. This event marks a specific moment, which may break the routine and chain of habits, in line with the artist's general practice. The structure of the medium of painting, which excludes absolute data, removes the Vitaspirit case from being an ordinary accident and offers the possibilities of mythologizing in a way that includes the class-based and national connotations of the elements of the ship and the mansion.
