Cargo ships, travelling long distances on the planetary scale, carry not only commercial load but also biological mass. Among them are barnacles which are locally also known as atırgana. Barnacles, clinging to the bottom of ship hulls, increase the weight of the ship and cause friction which slows down trade, raises fuel consumption, leads to corrosion and, consequently, shortens the life of the ship. Hence, they are deemed an undesired species by seafarers.

The emergence of oxygen, which caused the death of many life forms, brought human beings to the world, along with its current inhabitants. When the world was about half of its present age, photosynthesis by cyanobacteria enabled oxygen to spread into the atmosphere and the development of multicellular organisms. Kerem Ozan Bayraktar, in his work “Respiration”, conveys the relationship he established between life and death with a section he presented after the Great Oxidation Event. Death, which is seen as the final stop of all living beings, does not fulfill the last task regarding extinction from the earth and constitutes the steps of the movement. The ambulances in the artist’s work, which are associated with the moments when life is at risk, need energy to move like everything else. The living organisms of time transform over the years and get into circulation of the earth in different states of matter. The original cell that makes up all other cells continues to disintegrate and come together in the infinite form it takes on.
