Hatip Ebru 

Mustafa Duzgunman created this Ebru, or paper marbling, which presents a mesmerizing dance of color and form. The dominant motif, resembling stylized tulip or feather shapes, evokes a sense of organic growth. Consider how similar motifs appear across cultures and eras. The feather, for instance, has symbolized truth, lightness, and spiritual ascent, and these shapes echo the heart or flame. Through time, the symbol of a flame has represented the soul, intuition, and enlightenment. It is primal, igniting our imaginations across millennia. The arrangement of these forms in linear streams suggests a visual narrative, perhaps echoing the flow of time, the interconnectedness of ideas, or the cyclical nature of existence. The act of marbling itself mirrors the unpredictable currents of life, where chance and intention intertwine. This piece speaks to the enduring power of symbols, their ability to resonate with deep-seated emotions, and their perpetual transformation across time.
