Caroline Laurent Turunç: The Roots of Light
As part of the Tesliarium project, dedicated to commemorating the 170th anniversary of Nikola Tesla’s birth, we present a poetic reflection on roots, memory, nature, and humanity’s shared future.
Through the symbolic image of a tree stretching from the depths of the earth toward the infinite cosmos, the text connects belonging with universality. Roots become a source of memory and identity, while branches reach toward knowledge, freedom, and the future. Light emerges as the central symbol — a force capable of transcending borders and generations and illuminating a common path for humankind.

I bear within me the ancient voice of my roots, The memory of a city, the patience of a tree. From the deepest womb of the earth to the infinite expanse of the cosmos,
I weave a shared tomorrow for all humankind.
Roots to the earth, branches to eternity,
Light unto all humankind…
