ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

Contemporary Weaves is an art series that reimagines Turkish wall tapestries through the lens of a Muslim-Turkish-American artist. The series takes traditional motifs and places them in new, unexpected contexts, surrounding and embellishing them with objects inspired by personal stories, values, and the influences of contemporary culture. By juxtaposing symbols of Turkish heritage and literature with elements from today's world, the series explores how meanings evolve over time. The process of printmaking mirrors the meticulous craftsmanship of hand-weaving each tapestry, a role traditionally undertaken by women, while reinterpreting iconography based on the artist's unique experiences.
