Saliha Yılmaz (1985, Balıkesir) in her ceramic sculptures and paintings; relates the concepts of identity, gender and alienation to urban life and nature. When we consider the life of the individual together with the expectations of the society and the system, it conveys how this life changes and the reflections of this change in the world of spirit and mind. The artist describes human alienation through the metaphor of flowers, plants, animals and buildings.
