Artist Statement
I was fascinated with the smell of coffee, and the famous culture of coffee continues with fine artists. Also, the story of coffee includes psychedelic art in history, stimulating expressive views and is a medium for meeting with friends and discussing the political situation, history, or another topic. In other ways, the history of coffee continued with colonization and human slavery and suffering in the initial period of coffee history.
I have created a timeline, "The History of Coffee," for the world using origami beans for the business card, making origami beans for hanging in the store and decorating the wood slice with coffee beans and pyrography techniques. Coffee beans have influenced scent and history in the entire world across art and politics. Also, coffee beans have been interesting across different generations worldwide, and traditional habits continue with the coffee culture. For audiences, I am showing different beans from different countries with specific tastes and traditional habits, for example, a traditional Coffee Pot from Turkey or a powerful scent from Arabic coffee.
The Artwork includes the installation and process of how I created it.

The creative access resource
I used a traditional Ottoman Style Arabic Kahwa Pot set to avoid a pleasant atmosphere in the coffee shop, interest in my Artwork "The History of Coffee", and as part of the tactile resource. Also, for various senses (copper, ornaments on the cup, cold or worm temperature on the different shapes, and materials), I used natural materials for the table, a homemade nature box for the leaflets and origami beans on the business card be fun, interactive and positive engaging in creative interest to my Artwork.

Pot For the Creative Access resource, I prepared four coffee beans from different countries in the coffee shop for visitors and customers, which are available then, using customers' smell, taste, sight and touch. I folded origami cups for the coffee beans and put Dimo letters on each cup for visitors and customers with visual impairment to quickly find where coffee beans come from worldwide.

Also, for those interested in learning more about the history of coffee in the world, I created leaflets with pictures and detailed information to continue with the wood timeline. Additionally, I asked the shop assistant if customers could drink coffee, which is part of my Artwork, and then buy the coffee.
