In Mechanics, Gulec employs graphic design and intricate patterns to reimagine the human skull as a complex piece of machinery. The composition balances sharp geometric shapes with the organic curves of bone, revealing a dense network of gears and cogs that suggest a deep technological evolution. Set against a dark, starry backdrop, the piece feels like a relic from a speculative science fiction world where biology and engineering are inseparable.

The work leans into a retrofuturist aesthetic, blending the ancient symbol of the memento mori with the forward-looking tension of technological advancement. By framing this mechanical anatomy within a classic structure, Gulec creates a sense of wonder and curiosity about the inner workings of existence. It is a study of progress and decay, rendered with a precision that makes the impossible feel tangible and grounded.
