Artistic Approach
Tanrıver’s artistic practice explores the relationship between the body, nature, transformation, and the human experience through figurative and abstract forms. She approaches sculpture as a field of research in which thought and experience become tangible through material. Working with stone, clay, and mixed media, she regards each material as an active participant in the creative process.
Her work investigates the relationships between form, texture, void, and light, creating sculptures that invite contemplation while allowing space for multiple interpretations.
