What Grows Here? I / Burada Ne Yetişir? I

Banu Anka

Banu Anka presents an artistic practice that deeply questions the concepts of individual identity search and social belonging in her works. In her studies, she focuses on the interactions between the subject and the object, centering on the relationships the individual establishes with the “other.” Drawing inspiration from ancient traditions, her portraits address the connections between an individual’s inner world and external perceptions, while making the effects of social codes on the individual visible. In this context, the artist’s works offer a narrative about both individual and collective experiences.
