Ekin Su Koç works with the themes of migration, sense of belonging and body perception. Koç recent works include fabric materials and utilizes techniques such as collage on paper and paint on canvas. The images in her paintings touch upon both subjective/personal and social references regarding her time, spaces and people’s effects on her.
The artist lets us observe the process of her moving between countries yet keeping the pieces of her own roots together. Fish bones, Ottoman fabrics, maps, black and white photos from old immigrant houses, lace, images and pieces of different hair models/colours, sexless or multi-sex figures; all these details we see in the artist’s works reform and shape a whole body composed of different body parts. The works that allow us to follow the subconscious flow of Koç, and the themes regarding the sense of belonging and creating new identities and bodies form a new language by interpreting a visually & conceptually rich, imaginative and playful world, asking questions around happiness and unhappiness.
