‘The Cat of Istanbul – Variations 2’ captures the enigmatic and independent spirit of the cats that roam Istanbul’s streets, presented through a cubist interpretation.
This ceramic sculpture simplifies the feline form into angular lines and abstract shapes, yet retains a sense of fluidity that reflects the animal’s grace and mystery.
Drawing on the raw textures and earthy tones of the material, the piece evokes a timeless quality, as if it were a relic of the city’s rich history.
Both a study in form and an homage to the cats of Istanbul, this work challenges the viewer to reconsider the familiar, presenting the cat not just as a physical presence, but as a symbol of the city’s deeper stories.
Part of a series exploring variations on the same theme, this sculpture invites reflection on what it means to exist in a space both ancient and modern, wild and tamed, just like the city it represents.
Ideal for modern office spaces and contemporary decor enthusiasts.
