This is the public profile of Meltem Sahin, Additional information and high-resolution images are available for accredited press members, to access additional information about Meltem Sahin please login as a press member.Meltem Şahin attempts to create a language that may not necessarily imitate real life's supposed appearances, which entertain and alienate individuals from their existences, instead, she is creating figures that have a humanistic, and sensitive approach without the hierarchy of specific race, social status, sexual orientations, or any qualifiers of beauty. Regardless of the final medium —animation or installations— her pieces belong to the universe where people of neon colors floating in space will invite you to join their uncanny experience where pain and pleasure can be felt simultaneously. In the artist's 'Caught up in Another' series, a metamorphosis emerges: A human spreads wings and becomes a bird, the bird transforms into an enduring mountain, and the mountain becomes human again. This is a dance of interconnectedness. The artist believes that the axioms brought about by the mediums that have emerged with the development of technology force her to think and develop new things. In recent years, she has been producing works using augmented reality and machine learning technologies. She also tries to break the perfection of digital art with human touches, using traditional techniques in her digital creations, adding a mistake or an accident, and trying to find the balance between technology and nature.
