Fatma Belkıs, Not a Unit in the Marsh, 2017, Installation

Not a Unit in the Marsh is a field of reeds created in a determined area in a controlled manner. Although what makes a marsh is ultimately the soil structure, one who falls in it, loses its individual characteristics and becomes a part of the entirety of the marsh. Both the fish swimming in the water and the bird flying above are called by the same name. The roots of the reed look like snakes, the snakes look like the roots. Once the reed that grows in a marsh is cut, only then, can it acquire an individuality.
