Edâ

Edâ begins with fulfilment: paying what is owed, doing what must be done, carrying an act through. The word also came to describe the way something is carried — the manner, tone or style of expression.

Between obligation and expression, Edâ asks not only whether something is done, but how it is done.

In the Mestûr collection, words from Şemseddin Sami’s Kâmus-ı Türkî reappear as singular artworks on their own historic pages, carrying language, memory, and gesture into the present.
