AYCA GOKER FORMS OF PURPOSE & BEYOND
Ayça Göker creates objects that move between the functional and the undefined—pieces born from a quiet dialogue with life, its subtleties, contradictions, and transient beauty. Each work distills moments, emotions, and ideas into forms that defy easy categorization.
These creations do not seek resolution but o er a pause—a space to inhabit, to question, to feel. Whether a painting, a sculptural form, or an object without a clear purpose, they exist as fragments of an ongoing dialogue between the self and life itself.
At times, they take the form of everyday objects or materials, seamlessly weaving into the flow of daily life. At others, they exist purely to evoke a contemplative encounter, opening a quiet space for reflection and a deeper connection to one’s own self. They invite more questions than answers, o ering moments of stillness in a restless world.

Through their shifting interplay of light and shadow, these sculptures open pathways for reflection, tracing contours of memory that feel at once familiar and unknown.

The vessel holds the tension between fragility and permanence, embodying a quiet dialogue between the makers hand and time.

ARCHITECTURES OF MEMORY: WOVEN NARRATIVES
This woven piece translates the Architectures of Memory series into a tactile exploration of form and material. Crafted from wool, bamboo, and silk threads, the work retains the geometric abstraction and layered textures of its sculptural origins, while introducing the softness and depth of textile art.
The interplay of fibers creates a dialogue between light and shadow, enhancing the rhythmic composition and inviting viewers to experience memory as something both tangible and ephemeral. This transformation from bronze to textile blurs the boundary between structure and fluidity, o ering a new way to engage with the series’ contemplative essence.
