Funda Baysal

My work oscillates between fiction and reality, exploring the boundaries between imagined and tangible worlds. I create thought-provoking narratives that engage with cultural and social dynamics, reflecting on how these forces shape our interactions and identities. Care and geometry are central to my practice: I use precise forms and structures to convey meaning, while embracing the emotional, meditative, and restorative nature of making. Ceramics has always been a medium that reflects human conditions and societal needs, and my work continues this legacy while introducing the idea of archiving through modern techniques. To stay relevant, I focus on generating value, curiosity, and knowledge, constantly learning new methods and combining them with my foundational skills to explore new frontiers.
