The excavator picked as an object, is associated with the spaces that are dug out and burrowed, and opens up an area concerning the missing. Regarding the etymology of the word “excavator”, it means digging out by detracting. Material that is to be used in the sculpture is stainless steel wiremesh. The reason behind this material preference is to point out the inverse relation between the functionality of the object and the preferred material. Things that are attempted to be ripped out from a holed ground are sieved. In this context; concepts of excavation, displacement, invasion and construction will act as an invader to our entire habitat on the plane which the excavator tries to construct.

-a person or thing that excavates.
-a power-driven machine for digging, moving, or transporting loose gravel, sand, or soil.
-a sharp, spoon-like instrument used for scraping out diseased tissue, as in dentistry.[H10]
