In her installation that depicts a home, Soylu uses broken bricks, broken doors and window frames; by doing so, she aims to destroy her home. She constructs a new home by destroying it again and again. For her, home is directly connected to the self. “Home represents the self. Home is something and everything that we dwell in. If we look at it from this perspective, even our bodies can be considered a home, a temporary one maybe, but it houses our souls and minds,” she said, adding that one can be at home just by being.
Soylu is an artist who likes to open a new dimension of thought for her viewers. While she approaches the idea of home (constructing and destroying it) she also sees home as a place directly connected to one’s experiences and where memories are obtained. According to her, home carries traces from outside, but it is inevitable to see traces of outside and of our given surroundings reflecting on to our chosen surroundings. “A home, whatever that is – changes from person to person, carries embedded observations,” she added.
