In the exhibition, the works that Mehmet Aydin internalized and transformed into concrete forms; there were abstract works called "Waiting", "Root", "Balance", "The Outside Within Me", "Existence", "Corner", depicting human emotions and their emergence.
While producing the glass works in the exhibition, the artist used a combination of techniques such as hot glass shaping, kiln casting and cold glass shaping. Mehmet Aydın explains the theme of the "Struggle" exhibition as follows:
“Struggle” is an experience that goes into the depths of existence and opens the doors to inner journeys... These creations reveal the deepest secrets of the human soul in moments when fragility and strength are intertwined. Each piece symbolizes the complex nature of life and reflects the conflicts within us. The subtle dance between light and shadow offers us the opportunity to explore the light and dark sides of the human psyche. While joy and sadness, longing and hope exist as intertwined emotions, they appear as reflections of our soul. These complex feelings come to life with the combination of different colors and textures; Each brush stroke is an echo of a memory, an expression of an emotion.
The “Struggle” is not just an experience, it is a journey of discovery. It is the depth of the moments in which we find ourselves, get lost and exist again. And embracing the light and darkness within every emotion is the greatest richness of this journey. This series is the existence of me bringing the moments when I hear my own struggles to life through glass. It is the symbol of the moment and the journey.”
