The exhibition "The Sea Pulls, the World Holds" which brings together four artists at Büyükdere35, offers a pluralistic and poetic perspective with a focus on the expansive imagery of "us and others," where each artist becomes the narrator of their own stories. Oğulcan Arslan, Gizem Çelik, Eda Emirdağ, and Suzan Pektaş come together in this exhibition, which centers around various moments that shape and observe the world in a flexible sense of time.

Finding and losing oneself among the modest, inevitable promises of being human. "The Sea Pulls, the World Holds" delves into the field of subjectivity between distance and proximity, relationships, and new definitions, where one defines oneself and the surroundings through closeness and distance, reaching into the realm of new discoveries or acceptances.

In the exhibition, concepts of distance and proximity, relationships, and new definitions are questioned, invoking a sense of belonging from a feather floating in the void. Who are you, how do you establish connections in which universe, where do you drift, and where do you accumulate? "The Sea Pulls, the World Holds" turns into the foundation of creating disconnected or related but permeable and benevolent stories between space, time, and moments.

It reverses moments of well-being, belonging, and loneliness, knocking on the door of new possibilities, discoveries, and healing rooms. We read, bring together, and understand the deep mystery of living, the secret of self-discovery, and the foundation of holistic healing.
