This sculptural piece, located at İstanbul Airport's Kaimakk Restaurant, combines traditional travertine stone with large scale glass splashes to represent the concept of time. The stone fountain symbolizes the past, while the glass splashes, appearing to emerge from the fountain, capture the present moment. The design stands out through its integration of contrasting materials and its symbolic representation of time, blending craftsmanship with a narrative that reflects both history and the present in a dynamic form.
