İnce İzler (Delicate Traces) brings together the work of two academic sisters-in-law, one an architectural scientist and the other an industrial designer. It unites Turkish Decorative Arts (illumination painting and water marbling) with handcrafted jewellery in beadwork, slumped glass, and 3D printing. The exhibition is shaped by three themes: geometry, nature, and craft. Geometry gives structure, seen in spirals, lattices, and branching patterns in coral reefs, forests, and the stars. Nature adds life through fragile species, flowing waters, and renewing forests, leaving behind marks both temporary and lasting. Craft brings the human touch: beads woven by hand, gilding with gold leaf, colours floated on water, glass shaped by heat, and experimenting with new technologies. Each is a slow, mindful act of care. For the artists, this sense of care extends beyond the act of making. Over the past decade, they have also been immersed in caring for family, for their mother, who passed away in 2023, and for their brother and husband living with Parkinson’s disease. This exhibition trails these two pairs of caring hands, showing how creativity has been a source of strength through everyday challenges. İnce İzler is both a celebration of resilience and an invitation. It asks viewers to share moments of joy, sadness, fear, and hope – the delicate traces left by love, history, and hand.
