It is the continuation of ‘Untitled 2015’. The study questions urban regeneration in Turkey, especially in metropolises, under the control of power. In the rapidly changing, transforming settlements that have cut off their ties with the old, the study is trying to put together the tracks – memories that disappear together with the destroyed buildings. The wastes that have been thrown into the sea, along with the destroyed buildings, are reminiscent of the traces of habits and experiences of the past. It has been reinterpreted with the red clay and the objects found in the sea, which have been cut off from the life of the sea and made into a spectacle object. Surrendering to the fragility of the ceramic material, in the study, the new brick as a spectacle object was left to the transforming power of nature. Since July 2016, it is waiting in the water of city in an illuminated environment and life which occurs inside is observed.
