FRAGILITY
Deniz Turan
United Kingdom

“To escape and break free, because we dream of a freer life, to grant ourselves a second chance, to leave the past behind or simply because life flows that way…
Whatever the reason may be, alongside all other possibilities, migration promises a fragile world filled with recurring, unanswered questions in your mind and heart.”
“What if I…” is nourished by the artist’s own inner monologues. It speaks of the soul beyond the body, becoming a vessel for invisible wounds and unspoken words. Guided by emotion, her creation explore the fragile dialogue between presence and absence, silence and expression.
