‘Sustainable Art’ Exhibition: Waste Transformed into Human Portraits at Esenboğa Airport
Ankara, January 29 – The “Sustainable Art” exhibition, where artist Deniz Sağdıç transforms waste products and objects into works of art, has opened its doors to art enthusiasts at Esenboğa Airport TAV Gallery. The exhibition, entitled “‘0’ Zero Point,” previously showcased at Istanbul Airport, now invites viewers in Ankara to reconsider the concept of consumption through art.
The exhibition features a diverse collection of waste materials, including plastic bottle caps, medicine boxes, electronic parts, cables, and plastic bags, all meticulously repurposed to create compelling human portraits. Sağdıç’s project champions the principles of recycling and reuse, reinterpreting all kinds of waste products and objects within the art world.
Artist’s Vision: A Call for Responsibility
Deniz Sağdıç emphasized that “‘0’ Zero Point” is an idea that elucidates sustainability through art. She stated, “As long as humanity exists, consumption and waste are inevitable, and each of us has a responsibility. This responsibility aims to protect the world for future generations. The idea of protecting the future of all humanity, regardless of religion, language, race, or skin color, and the questioning of the concept of consumption, can be approached with the ‘0’ Zero Point perspective.”
TAV Ankara’s Pride in Hosting the Exhibition
Nuray Demirer, General Manager of TAV Ankara, expressed her pride in hosting the exhibition. She extended an invitation to art lovers, saying, “It is a great honor for TAV Gallery to host this special selection from an artist who has carved a unique place for herself in the international contemporary art scene. We invite art lovers to experience Sağdıç’s powerful artistic universe up close and witness this inspiring encounter.”
Exhibition Details and Impact
The “Sustainable Art” exhibition is a continuation of Sağdıç’s impactful work, aiming to raise awareness about environmental responsibility and the potential for creative reuse. By presenting everyday waste in a new artistic context, the exhibition encourages a critical examination of consumer habits and their long-term consequences.
This initiative underscores the growing trend of integrating environmental consciousness into artistic expression, providing a platform for dialogue and reflection on global sustainability challenges. The exhibition at Esenboğa Airport TAV Gallery is expected to draw a significant number of visitors, ranging from local residents to international travelers, further spreading its message of sustainable living through the power of art.
The exhibition will be open to the public for a limited period, offering a unique opportunity to engage with art that challenges perceptions and promotes a more responsible approach to consumption and waste management.
