Melis Buyruk's journey into the world of ceramics began as a seemingly temporary phase during her university years, marked by a mandatory internship in a ceramic artist's workshop. Initially lacking a profound passion for the medium, it was during this internship that Melis discovered the transformative potential of ceramics, seeing it as a means to create something tangible and real. Over time, she developed a series called "Habitat," where she meticulously explores and reproduces textures from nature, highlighting the uniqueness found in every millimeter. Melis's artistic process involves not only technical expertise but also a deep understanding of the chemical intricacies involved in working with clay and color. Through her commitment to handcrafting and eschewing molds, Melis aims to convey a narrative that goes beyond the mere act of creation, delving into the profound harmony and uniqueness inherent in nature's textures and forms.
