Muaz Özden’s “Substance” series, created for the “Eve Dönüş” (Homecoming) exhibition at Gallery Kairos in collaboration with the Irish Embassy, consists of three watercolor pieces on paper. The series explores hybrid forms developed by him since 2021, drawing inspiration from personal references and Virginia Woolf's The Waves, where she describes ocean waves as “a great beast stamping.” Özden’s hybrid forms suggest the state of being “the other”—entities that feel dangerous or undefined, and that exist intertwined with daily life, unseen yet profoundly present in the void.
