London-based artist Anousha Payne created a new body of work for this show, exploring mythology, memory, and material through a layered visual dialogue. Drawing inspiration from traces on stone surfaces, her figurative forms establish a poetic link to the past lives of the space.

We explored the exhibition, became observers of the unfolding narrative, and listened firsthand to Payne’s reflections on her creative process and her response to the cistern. “Murmurations,” is on view at Zeyrek Çinili Hamam through August 15.
