Title: Dome.
Material: Marble.
Location & Date: Created in Afyon, Turkey, in 2008.
Concept & Theme: The sculpture features two abstract human forms emerging from within a monumental stone arch, symbolizing unity, protection, and the shared space between individuals. Inspired by the architectural idea of a dome as both shelter and spiritual enclosure, the work explores the relationship between humanity, nature, and timeless architecture. The contrast between the rough chiseled exterior and the smooth polished interior emphasizes the dialogue between the raw forces of nature and the refined touch of human craftsmanship. Through light, shadow, and the central opening, Dome invites viewers to contemplate connection, harmony, and the enduring passage of time.
