Sinem Ören (b. 1995, Istanbul) received her undergraduate degree in ceramic arts from the Maryland Institute College of Art. In 2021, she started her master's degree in ceramics and glass design at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University. The artist is interested in the experience of being a human in her work. Her ceramic works, in which she describes organic formations, deal with issues such as birth, existence, and death through identification with the universe and being one with it. One of the most basic symbolic relationships of human history and existence myths, which is the analogy between clay and the human body, is the main reason why the artist prefers the ceramic medium as a means of expression.
Ören’s vision defines the word ‘‘primitive’’ as a root, undisturbed form of events that can be used to construct complex sensations of being. Her ceramic work, pivoting around this phenomenon and inspired by the nature of the medium, bears resemblance to the natural movements of the earth's underground. She currently resides in Istanbul after moving back from Baltimore and continues her studio practices.
