The title of the 16th Terrace Exhibition  “On the Trail of a Dream”,

invites the artists to create a trail path from their own field of creation that does not imitate the visible but makes visible what they dream of. While the trail refers to what is left behind in terms of meaning, it can be layered with the concepts of the line left by a pen on the surface, the movement created by the line after the plane, and the three-dimensional form that emerges in space with the combination of many surfaces.

Throughout the history of art, the world conveyed through the eyes of the artist in reality and illusion has given way to the dreamy lines, forms, and colors of modern art… It is the projection of the world we perceive from our own point of view with a new perspective that takes place in the space. “On the Trail of a Dream”; where reality turns into poetry; also traces a utopia that will take us to the future in pursuit of dreams. From different perspectives, “trail” is a multidimensional word. When time is divided into layers, “trail” is also the manifestation of what is not attributed to the past, but what exists right here right now, from the past to the future. It is not attributed to something that happened in the past, it is the one that refers to its future. As Derrida states in his text “Différance”, it is a synthesis of traces of involvement and forward-looking expansions – a synthesis of traces of involvement and forward-looking expansions – that constantly return to the present that lives as an initial and continuous synthesis, that gathers and gathers into itself.
