IlAYDA CELIK(b. 2000) explores femininity and domesticity through a lens bridged by the dichotomy of Western and Muslim culture. Using primarily found objects, ethically acquired animal products, and industrial building materials, Celik’s work organizes a language formed by the architectures of neglect— a product of a childhood split between America and Turkey.
