Yaşam Şaşmazer is featured in the exhibition Once We Were Gardens (05/07/2025)
DEO, a non-profit art organization, presents the exhibition Once We Were Gardens at the historic Karavas estate in Kampos, Chios, Greece, on the occasion of its 5th anniversary. Curated by Akis Kokkinos, founder of DEO, the exhibition will be open to visitors from July 5 to September 7.
Examining the inevitable cycles of growth and decay, the exhibition explores the decay of bodies, ideas, spaces and relationships through the evocative symbolism of the garden. Transcending the fragility of the body, the erosion of ideas, the transformation of landscapes and the fragility of relationships, it weaves a narrative that is as much about loss as it is about renewal.
Once We Were Gardens will be complemented by a rich program of public events throughout the exhibition.
