Tenho me preparado para o dilúvio, caminhando em busca do encontro com um monte. Um dia, construirei um grande barco de papel no vale do maciço vulcânico do Ararat. O primeiro passo dessa viagem se deu em Brasília, cidade onde estão situadas as embaixadas da Turquia e Armênia no Brasil. Lá, planejei iniciar o permear desta região fronteiriça. 'Ağrı Dağı é uma instalação que apresenta o processo de montagem de um grande e frágil barco de papel kraft na bacia de drenagem pluvial do Noroeste, nas proximidades da mesquita da cidade. Um diálogo com mitos diluviais cataclísmicos, como a Epopéia de Gilgamesh e a história bíblica de Noé. Neste mesmo dia, após 132 dias de seca, choveu em Brasília.

I've been preparing myself for the flood by walking towards a mountain. One day, I will build a large paper boat in the valley of the Ararat volcanic massif. The first step of this journey took place in Brasilia, the city where the Turkish and Armenian embassies are located in Brazil. There, I planned to start permeating this border region. 'Ağrı Dağı is an installation that presents the process of assembling a large, fragile kraft paper boat in the rain drainage basin of the Northwest, near the city's mosque. A dialog with cataclysmic flood myths, such as the Epic of Gilgamesh and the biblical story of Noah. On the same day, after 132 days of drought, it rained in Brasilia.
