Reflection

Sevda Balaban

Born in 1992 in Çanakkale, Turkey, the artist is a graduate of the Sculpture Department at Marmara University Faculty of Fine Arts. Each artwork emerges from an ongoing internal register of concepts that continuously resonate within consciousness, including vulnerability, awareness, contact, obsession, selfishness, existence, pressure, perception, and consumption.Through meticulously constructed dioramas, the artist materializes imagined spaces and figures, transforming speculative or desired realities into tangible forms that directly engage the viewer. These works operate as simulations of reality within a physical context, blurring the boundaries between the imagined and the real, and inviting reflection on perception, control, and human existence.
