The work, which came first in the sculpture competition held on April 25, 2022 by the Atatürk Cultural Center Revolving Fund Management Directorate, with a timeless style free from currents; It was designed as an abstract reflection of the symbolic values and artistic identity of Atatürk Cultural Center on the city. The artist designed his work by taking the references of size and form from the silhouette of the area where the work will be located. The semi-wavy form and lighting design of the work was inspired by the symbolic sound waves of art spreading towards the city from the hemispherical opera hall and the mass references of the city. The work is made with a perforated texture with a reference of permeable structure of the AKM facade and the art spreading through the city. The permeable structure of work is designed to integrate with the plants in the area without overshadowing the symbolic structure and the identity of AKM building visually and perceptually, while also being a modest companion of the city's own artistic identity, nature, and art. The artist defines the work not as a sculpture, but as a respectful and modest companion that integrates with the heart of the city and its own artistic identity, nature, and art, while quietly observing the noble and tumultuous destiny of this wise mass(AKM).
