Tradition Transformed

Models wearing colorful patterned outfits with tile embellishments on cape and skirt.

Adorned with bits of authentic tile, these looks evoke Bursa's heritage and embrace modern design.

Fabric for the halter dress is printed with the distinctive pattern of Bursa's Iznik tiles.

My modern designs stir nostalgia and honor the city's enduring charm.

My garments' evocative details reflect Bursa's deep cultural ties and its hometown warmth.

Through my art, I aim to encapsulate the essence of Bursa, Turkey, my hometown, blending its rich historical, cultural, and geographical tapestry. Inspired by the intricate çini tiles, emblematic of Bursa's heritage, I break tradition by reimagining them, fusing tradition with modernity. By repurposing these fragments into a fabric print and by wrapping the çini tiles with wire, I seek to evoke a sense of nostalgia, celebrating the city's timeless allure while embracing innovation.
