The first part of this collage is a pattern made out of a piece of colorful fabric. The pattern resembles a bunch of flowers in which there is a black hole and missing flower and landline telephone with its wire is visible.
In the second part of the collage, the middle part of the triptych, you follow the missing part of the flower of the first part on a hill top with a mobile phone.

The second and the third part of the collage are connected to each other with the light trail of a Heron, a long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle made by Israel Aerospace Industries. Initially, it was used for high-altitude land surveillance and maritime patrol missions. The Heron has been adopted as a surveillance device by the Turkish military. [Nilbar Güreş]
