Fountain of Life

Fountain of Life is a large scale public artwork installed in a restaurant at Istanbul Airport. The sculpture combines a hand carved travertine stone fountain with hand sculpted glass splashes. The stone fountain refers to the past, while the glass splashes, shaped to appear as if rising from the fountain, express the present moment. The stone fountain is 3000 mm high, and the glass forms range from 400 mm to 1000 mm in height. Polished stone and semi transparent glass change in appearance as light moves across the surfaces.

Fountain of Life Large Scale Public Artwork by Derya Geylani Vuruşan has been selected as an outstanding representation of communication design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Fountain of Life Large Scale Public Artwork was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in Fine Arts and Art Installation Design in 2025.
