Sonbahar, 2022

The relief titled "Sonbahar" (Autumn), woven with earthy hues and golden yellow tones, embodies the most mystical and inward-looking phase of the life cycle. On a mythological level, the work symbolizes the withdrawal of fertility into the underworld and nature’s final magnificent glow before descending into its slumber. Anthropologically, it reflects humanity’s ancient bond with the land, the rituals of harvest, and the endeavor to grasp "permanence within the ephemeral." The warm yet dignified color palette used in its artistic expression is not merely a representation of fading, but a silent expression of a consciousness that has reached maturity and a spiritual transformation. As the depth and texture of the relief bring the layered memory of the earth to the surface, it detaches the viewer from the linear flow of time, connecting them with the rhythmic, cyclical, and timeless wisdom of nature.
