Between Delicate and Violent
Zarafet ve Şiddet Arasında
2023
Synopsis
Can we see the violence of the painter’s hands in the brushstrokes of his paintings? Could cross-stitch be an alphabet of some sort?
Editorial
Hands are instruments of creation and archives of trauma in Şirin Bahar Demirel’s tactile exploration of unspoken legacy, memory, and resistance. Connecting personal stories to collective human experience, the short’s poignant fragments use evocative gestures to trace enduring wounds.
