Crowding

"Crowding" in this collection appears not merely as a physical accumulation or a compressed image, but rather as an aesthetic and phenomenological quality at the core of perception. Figures, lines, objects, and motifs densify, creating a space where the boundary between part and whole and between harmony and disorder becomes fluid. Each element present in the works, in the form of accumulation on the surfaces, operates within a network of intertwining and coexistence, and in the encounter, it evokes a quality in the audience that sometimes provokes wonder, dizziness, and contemplation instead of tranquility and clarity. Ultimately, what seems like disorganized multiplicity at first glance reveals an "inner vitality" in deeper layers.

The artists present in this exhibition, through their diverse methods, recreate and expand our perception of multiplicity and accumulation. In these works, the artists create a quality that finds meaning not in simplicity and balance, but in density. Consequently, beauty emerges in a novel form, and at times, this accumulation extends to the very brink of suspended meaning.
