PD/MGRTT 2018

Ayse Erkmen's 2018 artwork "PD/MGRTT" depicts a lone rock formation rising from the ocean, with the word "MAGRITTE" emblazoned across its surface in large, white letters. This photograph pays homage to the Surrealist painter Rene Magritte, known for his enigmatic and thought-provoking imagery, particularly his use of words and objects in unexpected ways. The clear blue sky and tranquil waters further contribute to the dreamlike quality of the piece, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationship between language, perception, and reality.
