Maria Sezer participated to the 3rd International Terra Cotta Symposium of Eskisehir in the summer of 2003.
Here she made a monument in the Ulu Önder Park, a park in one of the city's residential area.
The monument consists of a half circle of higher and lower walls with a semi-curcular cylindrical structure placed in the middle.
The walls are all slightly leaning outward or inward of the circle. On some of them are silhouettes or parts of silhouettes of people. The silhouettes are made up by plants pressed into the clay of the bricks at the bisquit stage. The semi-curcular cylindrical structure, which is also leaning to one side, has a sundial on top.

"Working with clay and thinking about the power of earth as a lifegiver an life storage too, I started to press natural materials into clay and fire these pieces. Instead of painting clay and motifs from nature onto bodies, clay was made into bricks, which made up parts of terra cotta dwellings, either for the living or the dead. When asked to make a work in Eskişehir in 2003, this fitted very well into my state of mind of that time. Working in a different place invites me to make ‘place-specific’ work. Work that dwells on local identity. Looking at the past and present of Eskişehir one finds out about the tradition of brickmaking and other terra-cotta materials. Some factories were abondend, many still at work. Some of the structures typical for terra-cotta factories will be chimnies and rounded oven doors. I decide to combine the passage of time with locality and made a structure which included a sundial. The structure exists of parts of brick structures which have  human rorm outlines made up of natural materials presse into the bricks. The structure is reminiscent of brick factories’ building parts."
