Experiences that may not apply to all of us or even seem very distant to us, unchangeable customs that consider child marriage as normal, lives spent without ever questioning one’s place in life… These situations, which are actually very much a part of our lives, unfortunately come to life before us as another facet of today’s realities.
“So where are we in this reality?” While we question our own reason for existence with the question, the place of women in society is questioned at the point where the story of child-women meets ceramic art in a conceptual dimension.
She invites the society to confront, even for a moment, the fact that one in every three women, mostly in rural areas, is married as a child and the anxiety felt against the memory, social culture and tradition that are questioned in the face of the helplessness of this situation to which they are condemned, as well as the sensitivity of the artist on a path where hope for the future is also desired…
While trying to question the limits of women’s freedom in their search for social identity on a conceptual level, while writing new stories with the help of the objects we use in the routine of daily life, ceramics were brought together with the richness of meaning given by the lived experience of used-obsolete objects.
