<small>'''The Line Takes Time''' is a walking-based project that explores walking as a time-based drawing practice. The work begins with a simple rule: the walk has a fixed start and end point, but the route between them remains open. The same direction is repeated until the accumulated walking time reaches 24 hours.</small>

<small>The project asks how a walk changes when it is repeated, delayed, interrupted, or redirected. Each walk produces a different line. Together, these lines form an accumulation of movement, duration, attention, and memory between the same two points. What remains from the walks are traces: movement, sound, attention, and small interruptions. The line is not only seen, but also heard and remembered.</small>

<small>In relation to Birhan Keskin’s “İz,” the project thinks of walking as a movement between returning and leaving: even when the route repeats, the line does not stay the same. Each walk becomes another trace of departure.</small>
