Sema’s Fırfır

In "Sema's Fırfır," Sema Topaloglu envisions a dreamlike scene with glass and reflective lighting. She crafts unique glass and brass fixtures that emit and reflect light, creating man-made "bioluminescence" akin to plants. Topaloglu's lights propose a new synthesis of art and design for urban settings, blending nature and craft.

"Sema's World" explores reflection as thought and light, offering a fresh perspective on nature in contemporary urban life. Handmade glass lights with gestural forms, reminiscent of nature's flowers, showcase Topaloglu's mastery of a nature-craft hybrid developed over two decades. Visitors immerse themselves in this organic realm, a biophilic formal garden with new motifs carved in glass.

Topaloglu's lights in "Sema's Fırfır" blend organic shapes with a raw aesthetic, replacing ornamental function with abstract forms in lighting. This interactive installation captures the essence of Topaloglu's artistic philosophy within urban life's constraints, introducing a novel organicism in light.
