Buket GUL’s work emerges from the deep fractures of memory: the echo of forced migration, the fragmented traces of personal history. A graduate of Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, she approaches the act of making with both conceptual depth and material intuition. The surface is never neutral; a site where collective trauma and private grief converge.
The visual language she weaves between painting and textile rejects linear narration. Color in her hands becomes a psychic force a way to articulate the tension of a space, the unease of a body, the atmosphere of an era.
Balconies, corridors, narrow passageways spaces often overlooked are transformed into compressed metaphors of entrapment, exile, and displacement.
In recent works, the figure dissolves. What remains is gesture without explanation, form without resolution, feeling without filter. These works are not made to be understood. They are made to be absorbed through the skin, through silence.
At Get Society × Get SoArt, we do not read Buket GUL’s works as reflections of the visible world. We step into them as ruptured thresholds spaces where memory unsettles the surface and what was once unspeakable begins to breathe.
