Explanatory text

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 colonisation 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.
