Selami Bakır's sculptures, grounded in the individual and collective journeys of contemporary society, offer viewers not only an aesthetic experience but also an opportunity to engage with philosophical reflections on existence and emotional connections.
 

Through his work, the artist draws attention to the beauty that emerges from complexity, as well as to uncertainty, hardship, hope, dreams, and disappointment.
 

Symbolizing humanity's continuous movement and transformation from past to future, Bakır describes sculpture as "a monument to humanity's search and evolution."

Selami Bakır's solo exhibition "Passengers" will be on view at Guga Contemporary from April 12 to April 28, 2025.
