Bio/Statement:
Busra Cegil is an artist who produces her works with an interdisciplinary approach. Psychoanalytic and sociological elements often play an important role in her aesthetics. Migration, individual and collective memory, grief, internal displacement, nostalgia, anomie, melancholy, social degeneration, restlessness, the cycle of destruction and rebirth of nature, tracing forms of remembrance are the main motifs that you can find in the artist’s aesthetics. By deforming and deconstructing objects, she makes us feel the alienation of the contemporary individual.
Busra has exhibited her work both in Turkey and internationally. taking part in artist residency programs in Switzerland and the distinguished ‘New Media Hospitality’ program in Istanbul.
