This Ebru artwork was created by Mustafa Duzgunman, who passed away in 1990. Its fluid patterns feature striking floral motifs, including stylized hearts and daisies, symbols deeply rooted in human expression. The heart motif, centrally placed, is immediately evocative. One can trace its evolution from ancient depictions as the seat of emotions to its modern association with love. Similarly, the daisy, with its radiant simplicity, carries connotations of innocence and purity. Its symbolic journey stretches back to ancient folklore, where it was linked to sun gods and goddesses, representing new beginnings. The composition, with its rhythmic repetition of these motifs, has an emotional and psychological impact. The image creates a meditative rhythm, a visual echo that resonates with our collective memory. Such symbols progress in a non-linear fashion, continually resurfacing, evolving, and acquiring new meanings across various historical contexts, reminding us of the enduring power of visual language.
