Surfaces of Imprint is a series by Serdar Akdeniz that examines how traces remain within a surface long after the moment that produced them has disappeared.
The works do not depict memory directly, but follow the way surfaces retain pressure, contact and time.

Each piece begins with weathered textures, wooden grain and embedded forms that appear neither fully constructed nor entirely erased. The surface does not function as a passive background; it holds, interrupts and reshapes what settles into it. What becomes visible is not an image placed onto the material, but a trace carried within it.

In this series, forms remain suspended between appearance and erosion. Architectural fragments, organic elements and layered markings emerge slowly through the surface, as if preserved through long exposure rather than deliberate representation. What remains visible is not a fixed narrative, but the persistence of imprint itself.
