"Leftovers" by Turkish artist Ayse Erkmen (1949- ) is an installation artwork from 1983. It features a collection of seemingly random fragments of stone, each hanging individually on a wire and inscribed with the artist's initials. Erkmen's piece challenges the traditional notions of sculpture and display, evoking a sense of both the inherent beauty and the discarded nature of these everyday materials.
