Situated within a domestic space, the exhibition brings the works into an intimate field of dialogue. The pieces, which recontextualise the ordinary elements of domestic life, invite us to rethink boundaries, modes of belonging and the possibilities of living together. In this context, Residue refers not only to what remains, but to the traces left behind by shared experiences, encounters and lived time. As the exhibition interrogates notions of safety, familiarity and coexistence, it displaces the idea of home from a fixed place into a continuously reconfigured relational space. Curated by Senem Cagla Bilgin-Keys _ Exhibition views: Residue, A Space Residence, 02 - 05 July 2026 The exhibition runs through 09 August 2026 on our website

Within the silence of the pavement, I see the lingering rhythm of countless crossings. I become increasingly interested in the threshold between significance and familiarity. Traces whose apparent modesty conceals a surprising density of experience and history continue to draw my attention. Across everyday urban life, distinctive traces emerge and persist. Through painting, these traces become records of coexistence and transformations.

On the still surface of the pavement, I sense the light wind, the moist air, and the quiet presence of life. This painting involves many challenges and breakthroughs, and has become an important turning point in my practice. It reveals the boundaries of my previous investigations, and at the same time opens new directions for future research. I am grateful to have reached this point during the residency, and excited to follow and explore where these new investigations lead.
