By intertwining these four fields, we will try to discuss stones, what stone hides, accumulates, loses and darkens, the moments when stones disappear and reappear, the moments when they shine, the life of stone and its struggle, generally by following the Turkish experience, with the help of news, visual texts and literary texts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br\/>In Melisa S\u00f6nmez\u2019s recently published text Small Round Stones (2022), Nergis says: \u201c What a beautiful thing the void was. To wander aimlessly and freely in the void without being caught by an obstacle .\u201d And we, just as Nergis always did and will always do, will stumble over the stones in that void, and we will stop where we stumble and listen to the ghosts of Turkey. <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-79414423 gb-tabs__item\" id=\"gb-tab-item-79414423\">\n\n<h4 class=\"gb-headline
