Drawing upon Ahmet Hamdi Tanpinar’s poem Her Sey Yerli Yerinde (Everything in Its Right Place), this installation contemplates the stillness of time and the emotional charge embedded in objects. Arranged inside an antique essential oil box, the miniature toys appear frozen in a scene poised to resume at any moment. In this quiet suspension, where fiction and memory intertwine, what subtle force compels movement? What hidden trace might the scent of the past awaken when the lid is lifted?
