about | SEZİN AKSOY

My work evolves around the idea of change or one could call transformation. It is not only in the realms of form but also in thought and spirituality. The main concept comes from the meaning of trans, which in my own perspective summarizes the fast movement of change in life itself.

It is the unsustainable energy form in every small particle of nature that is all connected to one and another. Time, space and form in the idea of change is what I am trying to reflect in my work to awaken some part of us that is unique and same that comes not only from the one’s gaze but also from its spirit.
