Breathing roots, 2026
Acrylic and pen on paper
Height 25 cm x Width 36 cm
Artist information
Breathing Roots is an artwork that deeply portrays the lived traces of those who were forcibly disappeared during times of conflict. The uncertainty of whether their loved ones are still alive or not has created an endless pain in the hearts of their families. With questions that remain unanswered over time, the ongoing search carried out by these families is expressed in an emotionally powerful way through this piece. The loneliness, grief, and faint glimmers of hope experienced by the families of the disappeared are intricately interwoven and reflected in this artwork. This is not merely a record of memories, but also an expression of silenced voices. The work stands as a strong call for justice for the relatives of the disappeared, and as a testimony that brings forgotten truths before society.
