Galata in Windy Weather

In my work, Galata Tower, which is one of Istanbul’s most important historical
sites is fictionalized based on the flight experiment supposedly realized by
Hezarfen from Galata Tower towards Üsküdar. In the sculpture, Galata Tower
is transformed into a new form (a windsock), and is restored as a symbol that’s
more than just a tool used for determining the speed and direction of the wind.
Also, as the work’s mobile features is naturally interactive with the speed and
directions of the winds of Istanbul, this enables a stronger bond between the
work and the city itself.
