Plastic basins arranged vertically and horizontally, attempting to exchange water. The unstable arrangement takes inspiration from water basins placed in front of mosques for pigeons, fish market buckets, and ornamental fountains.

Üst üste ve yan yana yerleştirilen plastik leğenlerin birbirleriyle su alışverişi yapmaya çalıştığı dengesiz düzenleme. Cami önlerindeki güvercin leğenlerinden, balık pazarı kovalarından ve süs havuzlarından ilham alır.

Differences in height, hose lengths, and pump issues frequently interrupt the flow, causing some elements to become nonfunctional. The work is displayed on a balcony of Barin Han, situated amidst the humid architectures of historic Istanbul, with their patchwork air conditioning units, decaying infrastructure networks, and plastic shops.

To sustain the flow of this “non-system,” occasional external interventions, such as carrying water with a bucket, are required, actions that further increase the risk of collapse.
