I Settle, I Stay, and I Leave / Yerleşiyorum, Kalıyorum, Sonra Çekip Gidiyorum.

his series of handwritten manuscript pieces explores themes of ecological memory, interspecies authorship, and the fragility of communication across both material and conceptual boundaries. Written in iron gall ink on paper and coated in beeswax, the pieces are intentionally momentary, caught between preservation and decay.
Through poetic reflection, the pieces question authorship, value, and the human position in language-making. Lines emerge from imagined entanglements with wasps, oaks, and gall formations that are minor ecological dramas that often go unseen.
The use of beeswax and iron gall ink makes the text both luminous and corrosive. Over time, the ink eats into the paper, yet it may be protected by the wax, creating a delicate negotiation of survival. The work refuses clarity, opting instead for quiet intensity and unresolved tension.
