About the Artist

I’m Selin, an artist and metalsmith from Istanbul, now based in Brooklyn, NY. I studied plastic arts and sculpture, and my work moves between wearable pieces and small sculptural forms.

I’m drawn to scars, broken objects, sad songs and the feeling of fragile things trying to survive heavy forces.

The city teaches me to look closely: worn subway tiles, tangled cables, rusted screws, and surfaces stained or discolored over time become starting points for my forms and textures.

In the studio, experimentation always leads. I push materials until they misbehave, bending metal until it looks fragile, distressing surfaces, and pairing hard with soft, rigid with frayed. Imperfection isn’t an accident; it’s my language.

Each piece is meant to feel found rather than freshly made, as if it has already lived a life before meeting its wearer. Whether it becomes a ring or a small sculpture, the work is about the scars we carry and the beauty that can exist inside what first appears broken.
