EGGPLANT - “ON VACATION”
Eggplant — one of the essential ingredients in Turkish cuisine.
For ÖZGÜN, it means grandmother. It’s about long summer
dinners, lively conversations, rakı, and grandfather’s wisdom.
It’s about knowledge, laughter, and music. Powerful woman.
LEYLA - “WHAT IS LOVE?”
The name Leyla refers to a woman — or a woman in love.
In Sufism, it symbolizes love itself. She is Leyla, from the
legendary love story of Leyla and Mecnun. In another sense,
Leyla means night. For ÖZGÜNİLGÜN, Leyla represents
everything done with love. It’s the mother and daughter who
create with love. They embrace an authentic and cozy lifestyle.
Leyla is red. She is passionate and faithful. She is a colorful.
SUNSET - “SEPTEMBER SUN”
Sunset is undoubtedly a moment we all adore.
Both ÖZGÜN and NİLGÜN wait all winter for this moment. It is
one of the scenes NILGÜN has painted many times. For
ÖZGÜNİLGÜN, sunset is the final stroke — the moment of
coming home from the beach, the smell of wet bikinis and the
sea,the time to get ready for the night. It’s romantic. It’s special.
