İskân

İskân means to settle — to give someone a place in which to remain, a dwelling, even a homeland.

The word turns space into belonging: a location is not yet a home until a life is placed within it.

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.
