Gaziantep’s history has once again come to life at <strong>Dedeman</strong> Gaziantep Hotel &<br />
Convention Center’s lobby! Ceramic artist Cahide Erel created a work of art on the<br />
walls of the lobby that is almost 60 meters high. It chronologically depicts the story<br />
of Gaziantep’s 6000 year history. The artwork starts with a figure of the Hitites’s<br />
head goddess and moves onto the Sumerian king Marduk. Throughout the<br />
historical journey, the illuminated waterway is decorated with either dogs or<br />
animals depending on the belief system. Cahide Erel’s work of art also includes<br />
the coat of arms of the Seljuk Period as well as the Sultan’s Signature or tugra<br />
from the Ottoman Empire. At the top part of the work of art there is the<br />
unforgettable depiction of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, after he has ascended<br />
Kocatepe, which portrays the modern day Republic of Turkey so well.
