Atatürk Portreleri

I began this journey three years ago with a single portrait; it has since evolved into a narrative that deepens with every exhibition—sometimes found in a glance, sometimes in a voice hidden within the silence. At the final stop of this journey—the Türkiye İş Bankası Museum of Economic Independence—the most powerful sensation I feel is a profound sense of presence. This is not merely an exhibition; it is a moment of locking eyes one last time with a shared feeling woven from effort, time, and belief. Emirhan Bıçakcı • 2025

Atatürk Ordu’da

Ordu is hosting the first-ever Atatürk exhibition in its history. For me, this exhibition is not merely a gathering; it is an encounter—with the past, with my childhood, and with myself. Emirhan Bıçakcı • 2024

Cumhuriyetin Yüzü

I began this series out of a need—not to explain, but to understand. I followed an idea, not a figure. What I discovered as I worked did not belong solely to the past; it was a trace that has endured into the present. Throughout this process, the presence of my mentor, Devrim Hoca, was more than mere guidance; it was one of those rare encounters that shaped my direction. That is why this series is less of a beginning and more of an encounter— an encounter with a question I have carried within me for a long time. Emirhan Bıçakcı • 2023
