Aydan Hüseynli

Aydan Hüseynli is an Azeri artist from Vancouver, Canada, based in New York. She holds a BFA in Furniture Design from the Rhode Island School of Design, where she also concentrated in Theory and History of Art and Design. Using the logic of familiar, domestic objects, Aydan’s work finds resonance between symbolic origins and contemporary simulacra. In collapsing the distinction between the two, she opens a third realm for viewing the mediation of reality, memory, and heritage within the contemporary Western landscape. Slipping between dream logic and the pull of nostalgia, influenced by Soviet and American cinema, her work emerges in a kind of twenty-first-century magical realism.

Lucile Gracile

Lucile Gracile, lives and works in Paris. Ceramic artist, her work is based on the combination of primitive and universal forms to create designs that carrying dreamlike symbolism.

For her, our society tends to confine dreams and creative expression to childhood, values becoming derisory in adulthood, to the detriment of efficiency and productivity. Through her sculptural objects, she seeks to let her inner child and her utopias express themselves. Everyone can see personal meanings, thus reconnecting with their past imagination.

Her artistic universe is nourished by ancient mythologies and by humanity’s timeless fascination with the unreality of life and death.

Sarah Carrier

Sarah Carrier is a Canadian-born photographer whose work explores intimacy, the subtle rhythms of life between places, and the poetry of everyday life. Raised in Quebec and based in Paris, her practice is shaped by long-term travel, temporary homes, and encounters with people and landscapes on the margins.

After over a decade working across fashion, music, and cultural programming internationally, she shifted her focus in 2023 to fully dedicate herself to photography. Her photography often sits at the intersection of documentary and contemplation, capturing lived-in spaces, fleeting gestures, and moments of stillness that speak to memory, belonging, and time.

Carrier has exhibited her work through a solo exhibition in Paris (2021), and her photographs have been recognized through multiple open calls and awards. Recent international exhibitions featuring her work include London, UK (October 2025), Dakhla, Morocco (November 2025), and Yeoju, South Korea (November 2025).

Her ongoing research into nomadic communities investigates ways of living and how these practices reflect identity, environment, and legacy. In parallel, her project Artists at Home documents personal stories through artists’ living spaces, capturing the intimacy of their surroundings and the ways these spaces shape creative practice and reflect personal narratives. She will be releasing a book about this project in the fall 2026 based on a two years of research across the globe.

Selver Yıldırım

Selver Yıldırım (1993) is an artist based in Istanbul. Her multi-layered practice spans painting, digital media, textiles, and found objects, rooted not merely in visual aesthetics but in a political question: What is reality, and for whom does it hold true?

Yıldırım’s work navigates themes such as simulation, memory, the politics of desire, and the representation of the body. She builds a language that oscillates between pop culture and critical theory, working both conceptually and intuitively. She distorts the familiar, rendering the everyday grotesque.
Her work is marked by inner contradictions: it is at once heavy and light, transparent and dense, personal and structural. Defining herself as a “painting laborer,” she approaches production as a form of embodied labor.
Technically, she primarily works with hyperrealistic acrylic painting, while also producing digital collages, video works, and airbrush pieces on textile surfaces. Her engagement with surfaces goes beyond traditional canvases, often incorporating industrial materials such as metal, fabric, and plastic.
Her interdisciplinary approach is shaped by a queer-feminist perspective; rather than aestheticizing images, she aims to expose them—less to narrate than to leak.
