Eyüp Can Yeter
Architect | Sculpture
Eyüp Can Yeter has been part of architectural, sculptural, and entrepreneurial projects since his university years, never limited by a single discipline, always drawn to the intersection of ideas. His approach has consistently been one of curiosity, risk, and reinvention.
In 2020, he began focusing entirely on sculpture. This shift gave birth to “Talking Walls,” a series shaped by memory, silence, and human emotion. Works like “The First Moment of Death,” “The Migrant Mother,” “The Child in the Mirror,” “The Flow,” and “Atatürk’s Perspective” reflect his ability to translate complex emotions into physical form—raw, honest, and often unsettling.
By 2023, he had opened solo exhibitions in Istanbul, Ankara, and Bodrum, bringing his pieces into quiet conversation with their viewers. Eyüp Can does not aim to decorate space; he aims to disrupt it, inviting people to feel, to question, and to remember. In every work, there is a pulse, a question, a fragment of truth.

The CHILD In The MIRROR
Walls are silent witnesses, holding within them the secrets of life. When human eyes pierce through their surface, walls plunge into the depths of human experience. They deeply feel the gentle breeze of emotions, the joy of celebrations, the harmony of sorrow, and the echo of grief. The echoes of the past linger in their stones, carrying the traces of forgotten stories and historic moments. Touched, thought upon, and felt by thousands, these walls become mirrors reflecting the intricate soul of a society.

The FIRST MOMENT OF DEATH
This piece explores the profound emotional intensity of two universal experiences: the moment of death and the moment of birth.
Inspired by the idea of what walls would say if they could speak, the work brings these silent yet powerful transitions to the surface—literally—through sculptural expression.
Out of the estimated 106 billion people who have lived throughout history, nearly 100 billion have encountered these moments.
This sculpture is a part of the ongoing series “The First Moment of Death” and “The First Moment of Birth.”
IN ATATÜRK’S PERSPECTIVE
“To see me does not necessarily mean to see my face. If you understand my ideas, my feelings if you truly feel them that is enough.”
— Mustafa Kemal Atatürk
One of the most distinctive aspects of this artwork is that Atatürk’s figure can only be clearly perceived from a specific angle — the one from which the photo was taken. From other angles, the figure appears merely as a human form.This reflects the idea that only those who can view the world through Atatürk’s own perspective — those who can understand his thoughts and emotions — can truly see and feel him.
The MIGRANT MOTHER
If someone were to ask:
"In the war in Ukraine, if the walls of the buildings could speak, what scene—besides death—would they say saddened you the most?"
And if I were asked to show something in response —
Then, the answer would be this:
The moment when hundreds of thousands of fathers, forced to send their wives and children far away out of desperation, look back one last time—knowing they might never see them again.
This moment—the last glimpse of a man watching his wife and child walk away—was brought to the surface of a wall.
The FLOW
Inspired by the calming effects of the sound of water on both physical and mental well-being, the artist designed this piece with the belief that watching and sensing the flow of water could evoke a similar sense of relief and serenity.
