The Mimi by Merve Öztemel is conceived from the idea of listening, drawing inspiration from the concept of kami. This piece functions as a living sculpture, with the ear form treated as an element independent of the body, becoming a simple, quiet presence that directly interacts with space. It is designed to be felt through its presence rather than to draw attention, prioritizing balance and calm within its environment. Within the Living Sculptures series, this piece is positioned as a physical and spatial representation of listening.
