ŞEYDA ÖZDAMAR

She was born in Sivas in 1983. She graduated from Cumhuriyet University, Department of Textile and Fashion Design in 2003. She studied at Erciyes University, Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Sculpture. The artist deals with education, authority, freedom and individual rights in her works. She brings together the family, soldier, child, women and political photographs she researched and collected from different time periods and obtains a different image with her unique, unquestioned, unregulated experimental results. This attitude visualizes her stance against society and its distortions. Her works, from the broadest perspective, are an archival expression of memory stuck between the concepts of transformation, forgetting and remembering.

The artist, whose works have been exhibited in various exhibitions, continues her works in her workshop in Istanbul.
