Hybrid Space
A visual study of my urban memoryCity as Archive
Hybrid Space began as an exploratory research project supported by Geberit Türkiye in 2023, where I investigated how digital technology might surface the often-invisible layers of urban experience. Since then, the work has continued independently, shaped by my everyday life in different cities. I started scanning objects, infrastructure, and urban fragments that consistently drew my attention. These collected pieces form a personal archive of how perception and memory continuously reshape my sense of urban space.
Design challenge
Who defines what a city is — and what represents it? A city is never a single, fixed image. It is personal, subjective, and made of countless fragments, like the seeds inside a pomegranate. Each person carries their own version of the city, shaped by their routes, encounters, and memories. How do you visualize a memory — something unstable, selective, and deeply personal?
Outcome
The work unfolds as a series of abstracted, animated visual collages that transform from city to city, mutating with the atmosphere and slipping into interpretations of my urban memory.
