That plate shall be finished! oil on cake coaster





That plate shall be finished! This is an imperative we used to hear from our mothers. We finished our meals fast and scraped our plate so that we grow up fast, and not leave behind blessings, that the food does not cry after us and turn into a giant to go after us, kids. And then we grew up. The plates hanging on the wall show us, grown up kids  and our governments, a half finished meal with plenty of blessings that could not be finished up fast. It became a giant that says "Do not forget me, I will cry after you".


Where Fire Has Struck is a series of events organized on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Human Rights Foundation of Turkey and as part of the Project ‘Dealing With Continuing Social Trauma.
