ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The artwork revolves around the themes of urban memory and traditional cultural identity. Images of old rooftops are not seen as mere architectural objects but as symbols of the preservation of time. The painting's space evokes nostalgia, suggesting an old neighborhood that has weathered many layers of history, where architecture, life, and community memories intertwine. The presence of red lanterns and folk decorative motifs further emphasizes the local cultural elements, creating a discourse on the enduring nature of traditional values in the face of modern changes.
