Untitled 2012

Fusun Onur made this untitled artwork, perhaps at her home in Istanbul, with tulle, wire, and a simple wooden frame. It looks like a scene caught between dream and reality. Imagine Onur gathering these materials, feeling the soft, airy quality of the tulle, twisting the wire into a delicate spiral, and then thinking, "How can I make these things sing?" The way the blue tulle spills out of the frame reminds me of a wave, about to crash onto the shore. You can almost feel the movement of the fabric, frozen in time. Onur's work often plays with the boundaries between painting and sculpture, and she's interested in the poetry of everyday objects. Her art is a constant conversation between materials, space, and the artist's imagination. It's like she's saying, "Look, the world is full of stories, if you just know where to find them."
