Dr. Bayram Armutcı, Assistant Professor in the Printing and Publishing Technologies Programme at our school, achieved significant success in the illustration/painting competition themed "Mythology," organised for the second time this year by Ganeşa Publishing. Armutcı’s illustration titled "Gilgamesh and Humbaba" was awarded first prize by the jury. Presenting key figures from the ancient Mesopotamian epic with his own unique interpretation, Armutcı created a compelling visual narrative by blending mythological themes with contemporary aesthetics. We congratulate our instructor and wish him continued success.
