Inspired by İstiklal Avenue, a cultural and artistic hub for centuries, the workshop incorporates visual outputs of the avenue and its surroundings, utilizing recycled materials like fabric scraps, wire, and plaster. Participants imagine themselves strolling swiftly along the avenue, translating the details that emerge in their minds into sculptures that also convey movement.
