Elibelinde
In Anatolian culture, the Elibelinde motif has long symbolized fertility, femininity, and the strength of womanhood.
With hands placed on the hips, the figure stands grounded and assured — a quiet but powerful expression of life, creation, and continuity.
This piece reinterprets that ancient symbol in a contemporary form. The side elements echo the gesture of hands resting on the body — not as ornament, but as a stance. A presence. A claim of existence.
At its core, the vessel carries fullness — a sense of life held within. Around it, the form embraces itself, just like the Elibelinde: rooted, protective, and deeply connected to the idea of creation.
