“Past Present Future” from Odyssey Collection

“Past Present Future” centers around the iconic upside-down Medusa head of the Basilica Cistern, rendered in warm gold and deep rust tones. This ancient, inverted face embodies the past—its silent history, its myths, and the weight of centuries resting beneath Istanbul’s hidden waters.

Beneath it, the shimmering reflection in the dark pool becomes the future, shifting and changing with every ripple. The mirrored Medusa hints at what is yet to come—uncertain, fluid, and shaped by the movement of time.

Between these two realms stands the present, symbolized by a luminous third eye glowing with aqua and purple  hues drawn from the Cistern’s mysterious atmosphere. Suspended between the Medusa heads, this eye watches with clarity and awareness, representing the moment of now—where the past informs us and the future awaits.

Bathed in the Basilica Cistern’s haunting darkness and metallic warmth, “Past Present Future” becomes a profound meditation on time, perception, and the layers of existence that surround us.
