Efe Işıldaksoy, a painter from Kaş, Antalya, has been leaving his artworks beside trash cans for 11 years, reaching 2,175 paintings across various countries. “Art should strengthen respect and love in society. I have no commercial purpose, and I will continue this for life,” he said. Inspired by his project, artists in Europe have also begun similar practices, while his works have reached collectors and even entered classrooms abroad.
