Manifesto: Elbistan
There are some moments when time stops.
The earth breaks, the sky falls silent and only people remain; wounded, bandaged, lost and clinging to each other. “Elbistan” is a visual lament of solidarity, mourning and remaining human in the midst of destruction.
This is not a painting, it is a memory stone.
The great pain and loss experienced after the 2023 Elbistan earthquake is silently echoed in this work. The figures have no faces because pain has no identity. Each of them is one of us. It represents a lost life, an unfinished story, a voice left behind.
Red Memories exist not only to remember the past, but also to not forget it.
The red veins in the painting symbolize the screams rising from beneath the soil, the cracks etched in memory, but at the same time, those veins are also the traces of being connected to each other and supporting each other. When a person falls, he continues to rebuild, when he falls, he continues to be hugged.
This work is a prayer, a testimony.
It is written in memory of those who are lost, in hope for those who remain.

About the Artist
Birsen Çakar, 26 Ocak 1997'de Osmaniye'de doğdu. Trakya Üniversitesi'nden sanat eğitimi bölümünden mezun olduktan sonra, kendi özgün anlatım tarzını geliştirerek sanatsal yolculuğuna devam etti.
Onun için sanat sadece estetik bir arayış değil, aynı zamanda insan ruhunun sessiz ve samimi bir keşfidir. Eserlerinde genellikle yüzleri bulanık ve kimlikleri belirsiz figürler yer alır. Duyguların, acının, kederin veya özlemin belirli bir kimliği olduğuna inanmadığı için figürlerinin yüzleri bulanık ve kimlikleri belirsizdir. Evrensel duygulara değinmeyi ve herkesin kendini özdeşleştirebileceği ortak bir duygusal dünya yaratmayı amaçlamaktadır.
Çalışmalarında yağlı boya, pastel ve çeşitli diğer teknikleri bir araya getirmeyi seviyor. Ayrıca dijital sanat üretmeye de devam ediyor. Her teknik, aktarmak istediği duyguların farklı bir yönünü ortaya çıkarıyor. Figürlerindeki eller, omuzlar, kucaklamalar ve dokunuşlar, sessizce söylenen cümleler gibidir. Yüzlerin olmaması bir eksiklik değil, izleyicilere kendi hikayelerini yansıtabilecekleri bir alan sağlıyor.
