Since the dawn of humanity, human beings have resorted to various means to communicate their thoughts and express themselves. Among these means, the use of form, color, and composition in narration has played a significant role throughout history. This form of expression brings us to the concept of symbols. A symbol is an expression that transforms shapes which cannot be perceived through emotions into tangible, concrete forms. Writings, which are an integral part of daily life, are a whole of symbols. They consist of various signs and their meanings. Just as the emotions in a poem are made concrete through the use of letter and word symbols, these emotions can also be depicted in descriptions. These symbols, which explain the feelings and values of societies, also guide them. Symbolism, or the study of symbols, interprets and explains events, objects, commonly used expressions, and words, often from religious, philosophical, and aesthetic perspectives. With this viewpoint, the goal is to convey the conceptual expressions found in Yunus Emre’s poetry through symbols in miniature language, while also increasing the awareness of his poetry. The subject of this work is the depiction of Yunus Emre's poems in miniature technique, using symbols to explain the semantic integrity of the poetry, which will be one of the first studies in this field. As a result of a meticulous team effort, the “Symbolic Expressions in Yunus Emre's Poems: Miniature Applications” consists of 15 original pieces. The symbolic expressions in Yunus Emre’s poems are materialized and turned into works, which form the main theme of this article. Presenting these poems in miniature technique and demonstrating the applications of Yunus Emre’s poetry and miniature art in different artistic disciplines can lay the foundation for transmitting these works to future generations.
