Memory is not a depiction it is a residue. A visual trace of an experience that once had form, weight and breath, now abstracted through matter, gesture and surface.
This piece marks a transition in Buket Gul’s practice from works shaped by trauma, migration and historical displacement to a more intuitive and process driven expression. The forms seem to hover between presence and erosion as if memory itself were attempting to preserve its fragments before they dissolve.
Layered with texture, chance and restraint, Memory reveals the artist’s shift toward an inward gaze. It is not the retelling of a specific story but the embodiment of remembering as an act partial, tactile, and always in motion.
