EXTENSIONS IN
COURTYARD
After feeling the smooth floor with the smell of the stones,
a soft ground with some light which blows me to the lightness of emotions has
welcomed me. The path between the grass
led me to my usual chair so as to sit and observe at the middle of the ground,
now I’ve just become a part of it.
Everything might be seen around is made of horizontal lines
and the ground is formed by the greatest one. Every detail of dynamism is the
extensions of the horizontality.
The level of the trees’ root and the bottom of the circular pond as the down
horizontality, the level of the benches and the lion sculpture as the middle
horizontality, the branches and the blossoms as the up horizontality all merged
so as to create the dynamism. Every movements, stable or in action, in the
courtyard have become a part of extension. Thus, it may be seen the unity which
is created by the lack of certain borders. The relation among the pieces with
the other ones is like the transparency between the edges of the branches and
the sky.
Solidity
defined by the light, which comes in an order and creates rhythm, with the
transparency of the branches is towards to me. The order of the lights in this
specific integrated field shows that this solidity is multifunctional.
Multifunctionality is divided by two as opaqueness and transparency
accordingly. The ratio between this opaqueness and transparency contributes to
notice the sustaining and remarkability.
How
many people do pass through this ground in a day? While sitting on my usual
chair, I realized the traces people left behind for the first time. Some of
them are clearer than the ones which have become indistinct in time. Among the
transparent points of the solidity and the extensions of the horizontality, I
can see the basing points of dense areas which are made of the movements of
people. These basing points are renew every second depends on the people’s
minds. Some people choose to walk through the path. The path which was made in
order to guide people to the courtyard was already determined and
fictionalised. Some people choose to walk through the grass. Grass which was
made in order to strenghten the spirit of the courtyard means someone escaping
from the routine.
Just
before leaving my usual chair, the light passed above the solid obstacles,
glared through the branches for a second and made some sliding patterns on me.
I turned my head up and saw the source of light that is reflected from the pink
walls. Afterall, I stood up and walked through the glass by leaving my traces
behind me in the courtyard of Taşkışla.
