TaşAnkara, Granite sculpture in Cumhuriyet, Çankaya, Turkey.
The TaşAnkara sculpture stands prominently in the district, demonstrating the artist's mastery of stone carving through its bold geometric forms and textural variations.
Danish sculptor Jørgen Haugen Sørensen created this granite masterwork in 1992, marking a period of international artistic collaboration between Denmark and Turkey.
The sculpture represents the intersection of Nordic artistic traditions with Turkish public spaces, contributing to the modern cultural identity of Ankara.
Visitors can access the sculpture throughout the day in the Cumhuriyet neighborhood, with multiple public transportation options available nearby.
The granite material selection reflects Sørensen's dedication to working with hard stone, which he considered to hold sacred properties and poetic qualities.
