Elegy for Tekir 2012

"Elegy for Tekir" (2012), a piece by Turkish artist Fusun Onur, is a moving and intricate installation using fabric. Three suspended panels, each with a distinct image, create shadows on the surrounding walls. The artwork’s title, referencing a beloved pet, suggests a contemplative theme of loss and remembrance, echoed in the delicate depictions of cats on the fabric. The installation’s interplay of light and shadow, and the delicate texture of the fabric, evoke a sense of intimacy and fragility, drawing viewers into the artist’s personal narrative.
