Works by Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin, Lucian Freud, David Hockney, and many other artists offer a new space for common ground through the universality of emotions.

Swedish artist Åsa Jungnelius’s first solo exhibition in Turkey, Åsa Jungnelius: A Poem Written with Earth, Fire, Water, and Air, opens the doors to a poetic world born from the interaction of glass and stone. Featuring large-scale glass and marble sculptures produced in collaboration with Şişecam, the exhibition explores the relationship between material, nature, and humans.
