Beyond the Wall Unknown Lands

Melike Kılıç's works can be seen as a multi-layered narrative of the language between nature and humans. The artist draws attention to a fairy tale where Earth's resources never deplete, and all beauties are possible, emphasizing humanity's connection to nature and the impending end due to current urbanization. Kılıç, who often focuses on these phenomena in her works, also highlights the concept of "reminder." By approaching the notion of "reminder" through the existence of a tree and the depth of a forest, she emphasizes that all the beauties of the Earth existed before us. In addition to the fantastical narrative in her works, Kılıç states that drawing is the best form of expression for her, equating each line with a word. Describing herself as "solid," she points out a distinct style beyond achieving a three-dimensional collage-like appearance in her multi-layered works.
