The Gaze, Ilker Yardimci

Synergy is seen in the improvement of the result of the interaction.
"The Gaze" reflects this idea with the use of forms. The sliced parts come together and create a meaningful form of sculpture. The illusion effect emerges with the movement of the audience around the sculpture. It turns the process into a game. The game, as an action, enables us to best understand and feel the synergy as a concept.

In today's conditions, people are drifting towards loneliness and de-memorization. The negative effects of today's conditions can also be seen in urban spaces and architecture. The therapeutic and healing power of artworks in public spaces can contribute to the individual's remaining authenticity against these negative processes.

Sculptures located in public spaces create new senses, contribute to our beliefs for the future and develop creative thinking. A work of art is the seed of synergy left to the urban soil for the positive life energy to flourish.

Sculpture “The Gaze” references to Michalengelo's David statue, which is a traditional masterpiece from the past to the present. Half torus form symbolizes the universal movement and time. The art of sculpture plays an important role in self-expression and changes in human culture. Ilker Yardimci hopes that his sculpture will help to achieve this goal for the city of Bila Tserkva.
