Inspired by kurşun dökme (molybdomancy), a traditional divination practice from Turkey, this participatory installation was created by pouring molten beeswax into Water. As the wax solidified, participants interpreted the emerging forms through free association and reflection by taking notes, writing poems, or sketching. Gathering around Water—our primordial mother—we embarked on an inward journey, drawing out memories, emotions, and deeply personal insights. These explorations culminated in a collective sculptural installation at the Textile Arts Center.
