The installation Way Up is
a 16 meters long ladder made up of three different materials from top to the
ground; feather, chain and tow. The ladder is hung on the outside wall of the
main stairwell of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Sabanci University.
The wall is the only white block that faces the courtyard of the building. Tow is the
first material and it touches the ground. Sourcing from earth, its shape like a
braid implies how natural a process starts and develops such as the hair
growth. Tow is followed by chains, a phase of hardships
and also strengthening. The highest part of the ladder is made up of feathers.
