vision

Rüyet, Derviş Zaim's second novel, gives meaning to the human being stuck between past and future, freedom and obligation, desire and reality. Sine, who works as an architect in her uncles' construction company, is uncomfortable with the way her profession has become today. What he really wants is to organize a contemporary art performance based on people's dream narratives. Sine, who is fed up with the company's financial situation and being torn between the two men in her life, starts reading an Ottoman memoir she found while looking for a way out and, upon her uncle's request, translates it into modern Turkish. The references to the Hüsn-ü Aşk mesnevi in the memoirs and the parallels between these two texts attract his attention...

The text he created was inevitably constructed according to the context. Therefore, it was dangerous to imagine what we call self as something permanent from beginning to end.

When the signals we send around change, both the self and the essence of the text can change. ... For this very reason, it became important to find the unchanging patterns in the changing aspects of human life or to discover the differences hidden among the seemingly unchangeable things.
