Visit the Yesemek Quarry and Sculpture Workshop
Gaziantep · Türkiye
Yesemek's unfinished sculptures reveal stages in turning stone into art. Türkiye's UNESCO tentative-list submission describes roughly shaped pieces being taken to other cities for their final details. From the visitor path, compare a lion roughout with a less worked block and photograph them; record which detail you think the sculptor would leave until last.
