Artist Seçkin Pirim has designed a monumental 3-ton Atatürk statue for ASAŞ, specially created to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Republic. Composed of 100 layers, each representing a year of the Republic, this statue can be seen at Galataport Istanbul Pier, between N2 and O2 Blocks, until September 24, 2024. 

Constructed as an abstract silhouette of Atatürk, the bridge at the center of the piece symbolizes Atatürk’s role in laying the foundations of the Republic, establishing modern Türkiye, and acting as a bridge for the people of this land. The 3-ton aluminum statue, designed for ASAŞ in honor of the Republic’s 100th anniversary, measures approximately 7 meters in width and 4 meters in height. The interior surface of the statue is shiny and mirror-like. By allowing visitors to see themselves inside the statue, the piece emphasizes the message, " The Republic's creation is us, and you are its reflection."

For the 100th anniversary, a special film was created featuring the artist Seçkin Pirim and narrated by Fırat Tanış. This film showcases all stages of the Atatürk statue, from design to production. Click to watch.
