""Remains of Memory," an exhibition by Ahmet Aydın Atmaca, explores the ontological and phenomenological relationship between artist, material, and audience. The sculptures, characterized by their extensions resembling roots or spider webs, embody a paradox of fluidity and petrification, symbolizing the tension between connection and detachment. This duality reflects the process of memory becoming rooted and forgotten, where forms evolve through metamorphosis and time. Atmaca's works evoke existential themes of being, presence, and perception, encapsulating the concept of taking root in reverse, as if buried to be rediscovered and reclaimed by the earth."
