As Turks, we often watch major disasters unfold through television screens—experiencing collective pain from a distance. During one of the most devastating earthquakes in Türkiye, an image on the news deeply shook me: a small, lost teddy bear pulled from the rubble.

That lost teddy bear became my core inspiration. It prompted me to evolve my style once again. I placed the teddy bear right at the center of the composition, rendering it like a shadow embedded within complex lines—a symbol of lost childhood, trauma, and lingering memory.

Today, this piece stands as a milestone in my journey, officially registered and fractionalized on the Turkish digital art stock market (Artiox).
