Acrylic and mixed technique
Spectrum – The Freedom of Colors series
For centuries, the Maiden's Tower has been a symbol of female identity and the "protected/confined" girl in legends.
In this work, the tower is combined with an androgynous figure with no distinct gender boundaries.
Her serene facial expression and closed eyes reflect a quiet state of acceptance, gazing into her inner world.
Surrounded by seagulls symbolizing freedom, the sea symbolizing fluidity, and the red skyline of Istanbul in the background.
Thus, a new interpretation emerges, challenging the societal perspective and the meanings historically assigned to identity:
The "Tower" is no longer simply a symbol of "girl"; it is an identity structure between genders, beyond boundaries.
