A "monument of gratitude" was designed in memory of Gabriel Akyüz, a Syriac clergyman who served at the historic Kırklar Church in Mardin for 41 years, drawing inspiration from his writings. The 150-kilogram artwork, created by curator Özcan Geçer over three months, is now on display in the courtyard of the approximately 1500-year-old church.
