Cemile Sahin YOU KNOW TIME, 2025
Epoxy resin panel with embedded acrylic flowers
35 x 25 cm
The panels feature acrylic flowers encased in epoxy resin. Bright colors, artificiality, glossy surfaces, and sparkly motifs are stylistic elements that Sahin uses to address complex themes through a pop-cultural lens. With these panels, the artist plays with the aesthetics of oversized nail art and the stereotypical ideas which might consider flowers and extra-long gel nails devalued attributes of femininity.
