This project was created by me and Seda Boy. As two close friends we are constantly communicating, always influencing each other in our creation processes, whether it’s a group effort or an individual project. We have journeyed in this "sisterhood" and we continue to do so. Even though we experienced quite a lot together our characters are as opposite as it gets. However this does not divide us, it brings new perspectives. A unique point of view through similar experiences.

In our project, we focused on a single theme: a dining table. Simply, a dining table brings people together, creates conversations, an understanding between individuals, a culture of sorts. Combining   this with our expertise we came up with an idea. Same as the conversations in a dining table we wanted to have a conversation through our work. This way we could both showcase our unique styles in a harmony, while facing each other off in a unified concept. It is all about cooperation through confrontation. When someone thinks of plates ceramics comes to mind immediately. That’s why we decided to use ceramics in the entirety of this project. In the middle of the creation process we took things a step ahead. Let's modify each other’s works in our own style! From modelling to glaze we constantly intervened each other and concluded the creation phase.

In the end we created a non-functional set of plates and cups and as utensils we decided using modelling tools. This reflected our common sense of humor while utilizing different aspects of our characters in a uniquely absurd way. The final product is a combination of two opposite characters in harmony, markings of two artists intertwined in a single setting. By keeping things simple we aimed to present the essence that made us ourselves.
