10 x 15 cm – Acrylic on Paper

Esra Soytürk’s small-scale artwork titled “Concubines” presents a poetic narrative where historical memory and the societal representations of women intertwine. The figures by the seaside, while situated in a natural setting often associated with freedom, evoke a sense of confinement through their posture and expressions. With closed eyes or downward gazes, the figures become visual representations of introspection and submission.

Created with acrylic on paper, the artwork carries a serene yet thought-provoking atmosphere, enhanced by the gentle harmony of pastel tones. The bird figure in the lower right corner of the composition stands out as a symbol of freedom. Through “Concubines,” Soytürk merges personal and historical memory, giving space to the silent yet profound stories of women.
