Vuslat

May We Meet In The Silence Of Our Souls

From Myth to Material

Vuslat (b. Istanbul; lives and works between Los Angeles and Istanbul) is a multidisciplinary artist working across drawing, sculpture, ceramics, and installation. Her practice explores themes of trust, interconnectedness, memory, and collective consciousness, drawing on mythological narratives, storytelling, nature–culture relations, and philosophical inquiry.

May We Meet In The Silence Of Our Souls is the first monograph of Vuslat bringing together over 3 years of artistic research and practice on her concept of Emanet—a layered notion of trust, care, guardianship, and entrusted knowledge. Bringing together image, text, and material thinking, the publication invites the reader into a contemplative space.

Through a dialogue between three exhibitions developed around this concept, the publication offers a comprehensive introduction to her multifaceted practice. It features essays by Rüstem Aslan, Paolo Colombo, Andrew Graham-Dixon, and Chus Martínez, as well as a conversation between Lewis Hyde and the artist.
