CYCLIC WHEELS-VERTICAL HIERARCHIES
Life on earth, which was embraced by a linear timeline with no return, provides a stage of struggle consisting of cycles that human has complied with but still in search of a state of domination. Having experienced of existing only for thousands of years compared to billions of years of age of the Earth, humans tend to corrupt the natural cycle by digressing the balanced relation established with the nature, in a way inserting the hierarchy of needs just like a knife into the wheel of natural cycle.
Even this hopeless fight of humans against omnipotent Nature brings short lived, relative gains along, which can be called nothing but only a Pyrrhic victory. Yet, humans chose a dominating role through increasing population and developing technology against nature but they must convert their breeding practice of gene transferring into an intellect-based practice of existing compatible with nature’s cycle.
The task of protecting the delicate balance between meeting the needs of the humans and the continuation of the cycle is at the hands of the designers who, by their creativity, touch the lives of ordinary people by creating spaces and objects that become part of their daily lives. Having accepted the necessity of creating an equalitarian living on earth rather than treating the other stakeholders (no matter organic or inorganic) to maintain the sustainability of life, it becomes the duty of the designer to ensure such equality.
This exhibition brings a light into the worldview of the young brains educated in the departments of design of various fields in the institutions in Izmir. It is worth bearing in mind while visiting the exhibition that we still have a long way to go to establish an understanding that we (humans) are not superior but only equal to the other beings on Earth. Yet, it gives hope to observe the awareness also reflected in designs.

I’ve done it…
This exhibition hosts only limited number of designers due to limited space and they can be regarded as they have “accomplished themselves”. But the designers who are here in this exhibition or not will continue to work in order to sustain this “self-accomplishment” in their finite lifetime within the cyclic process on earth. Even the criteria seem to be quite relative, the final decision will be given by the earth itself together with all stakeholders of the life on it.
