In Deniz Turan’s works, created through the connotations of concepts, images, materials themselves, or colors, her primary pursuit is to achieve a quiet, powerful, and protest-driven language against the dominant impositions of the world perceived through our five senses. In her semi-controlled production process, which is open to potential surprises, the only rule she strictly adheres to is emphasizing the importance of thought and care in “creating” or “making.”
