Expensive to be Poor, 2022

Ink on porcelain dish 01/02

Dish diameter: 25 cm

Frame size: 37 x 37 cm

 

 

During my visit to Istanbul, I encountered a souvenir shop near the Hagia Sophia, where I found empty plates and tiles awaiting your words. I was asked and responded to the calligrapher in the store by writing, “it's expensive to be poor.”

I feel the words resting on porcelain are part of civilisation and are as fragile as life.
