Time to Bloom

Artist: Cansu Bayrambey

Date: 4-17 August 2024

Space: İstanbul Design Museum, fam°s gallery No:93

We exist with our emotions. We accumulate them over time, and they, in turn, make us who we are. We scatter them through time, calling them to us at different moments. Both our happiness and sadness, like all our emotions, belong to us. So do our feelings of being stuck or caught in between. Emotions are our inner seeds that make us who we are and change us when necessary. Additionally, there is another kind of seed we keep inside: our childlike spirit. We protect it as if it were a delicate flower. We take care of it, water it, and help it grow. Each of us has flowers or seeds we plant within ourselves and nourish with our emotions.

The flowers will bloom, shed their petals, and perhaps wither again. We will always embrace them. Their light will illuminate us. In this light, we will patiently wait for them to grow and nourish us once more. One way or another, our flowers will bloom. They will reflect us. They will be the gift of time and all our emotions to us. This is the subject of the moment. We have waited a long time for this moment. Now it is time to bloom. Blooming requires courage.

Now is the time to bloom with all these emotions.

The exhibition can be visited at the Istanbul Design Museum, No: 93, from August 4-17, 2024, every day except Monday, between 12:00 and 17:00.
