GÜLEN RITA
TOPALOGLU
Her passion for exploration drives her to constantly seek inspiration, drawn from both the world around her and from within herself.
People are often at the heart of her work - human connections, relationships, drawing inspiration from her personal experiences, social movements and memories. Her work largely revolves around these themes, often focusing on storytelling and discovery.
She drinks too much coffee and likes walking
