Galerinin koridorunda konuşlanan heykel, Defne’nin önceden planlamadan, formu belirlemeden kendi vücut hareketlerinin akışıyla jüt ipten düğümler
atarak şekillendirdiği Oluşuklar serisinden. Cesameti, hafif bükük boynu, ilmek
ilmek örülmüş gövdesiyle sıkıştırdığı yerden çıkmak üzere kibarca baş gösterirken İçimde Oturanlar ufak ufak dile gelmeyi mi bekliyor?

The sculpture positioned within the gallery corridor belongs to the series Occurure; which Defne creates by tying knots in jute rope according to
the improvised flow of her own body, allowing the form to emerge without
prior planning. With its imposing body woven loop by loop, slightly bent neck
and gently protruding posture, Those Who Reside in Me, seem irresolute to
reveal what’s inside.
