Dilara's practice deepens the exhibition's exploration of temporal atmospheres by examining how spaces are felt, remembered, and rendered beyond mere documentation. Moving fluidly between photography, text, installations, and performance, she creates derealised images that loosen the meanings of their subjects and dissolve the boundaries between object and environment. Her installation on the domestic and municipal spaces of Kars, Turkey, investigates how placehood is not fixed but continually shaped by mood, materiality, colour, and the presence of objects. Rather than producing isolated artworks, Dilara cultivates an ongoing process of thinking-an unfolding study of how spaces generate and are generated by time. Through her work, locality becomes a temporal field in which memory, observation, and atmosphere converge.
