Capturing Timelessness: Derya Geylani Vurusan's "Moment" Series

Blending History and Modernity in Glass Art

Memories, often considered the reflection of life, serve as the inspiration behind the "Moment" series. The desire to immortalize special moments in rapidly flowing time led to the creation of this unique design. The series is a testament to the power of art in capturing and preserving the essence of fleeting moments.

The "Moment" series stands out for its unique blend of history and modernity. The heirloom porcelains carry the traces of history to the present, while the sculpted glass represents a frozen moment and timelessness. The design captures the fluidity of a moment, with the glass in antique cups shaped like a liquid splash, offering a snapshot to the viewer.

The realization of the "Moment" series involved a meticulous process. The main materials used are relic porcelains and blown borosilicate glasses. The process began with finding the right non-glass object, followed by sketching to connect the found relic with the glass. After shaping the glass, it is combined with the heirloom object in the most aesthetic and physical way.

As a testament to its excellence, the "Moment" series was awarded Silver in A' Fine Arts and Art Installation Design Award in 2021. The award recognizes top-of-the-line, creative, and professionally remarkable designs that illustrate outstanding expertise and innovation. The series has been exhibited in many different galleries and is currently part of the collection at the successful porcelain brand Porland's Istanbul Akmerkez store.

Through the "Moment" series, Derya Geylani Vurusan demonstrates the potential for artist and brand collaborations. Such collaborations can offer new orientations for brands and provide artists with different presentation and marketing methods. The series is a testament to the power of art in capturing and preserving the essence of fleeting moments, offering a unique perspective on the fleeting nature of moments and the enduring beauty of art.
