Istanbul Sultan of Lands and Seas widens the scale to a city shaped by imperial geography and maritime connections. Urartu: War and Aesthetics focuses on the visual culture and political world of an ancient kingdom, making objects part of a historical argument. City of Legends and Epics Çanakkale offers the most narrative entry; Urartu: War and Aesthetics gives the clearest view of Özdem's work at the intersection of history, art, and cultural memory.
