« After the performance piece harS -a duet with a harp- I remembered my past engagements in music. Especially the musical days of my childhood that family and friends would gather to play and sing together Turkish Classical Music, every two weeks for many years. Different “Gazel’s” -a form of writing in literature which is also a form of music- fascinated me in the detail they contain within and the melancholy they carry. I wanted to explore the interrelation between voice/sound and movement, how their shapes effect each other and study the use of air as the carrier of sound as well as of movement. This is an attempt to expose how the air is transformed within the body to render visible what is invisible. »
