Maral Taşkırıcı
Maral, born in 1996 in Istanbul, Turkey, is an interdisciplinary artist with a primary focus on ceramics. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Product Design from Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti. Her work delves into emotional and social themes, particularly exploring the experiences of female figures constrained by societal roles, often in surreal and symbolic landscapes intertwined with nature. Maral’s use of hand-shaped forms highlights her deep connection with the material and the creative process, showcasing her interest in design. She reimagines everyday objects—such as vases, plates, and ashtrays—by incorporating them into her installations, transforming them into art. This transformation invites viewers to reconsider the ordinary, challenging the aesthetics of daily life and reinforcing her focus on reinterpreting familiar objects through an artistic lens.
