Calligraphy artist Garip Ay's work was also well-received by attendees.
The exhibition aims to promote Türkiye's marine, lake, and ocean conservation efforts internationally, present concrete environmental achievements and awareness initiatives under the "Zero Waste Blue" brand, and create a platform for global environmental diplomacy, cooperation, and partnerships.

She emphasized that artists demonstrate how a sustainable and just world can be built not only through policies but also through art, imagination, and universal values, acting as interpreters of nature and healers of hearts through their works.
She wished the inspiring exhibition would remind everyone of the deep connection between humans and nature.
