About the Item
Sand-cast glass, steel mesh, silver mesh, and metal.
60"H x 45"W x 20"D
Yasemin Aslan Bakiri specializes in sand-cast glass techniques using ideas relating to the natural world. In her work she uses timeless simplicity to provoke a powerful sensation of color and movement. She is interested purely in the spontaneous reactions of the glass, using different materials in her works, wires and hand-woven metal meshes.
The artist renders the juxtaposition of the cold, hard nature of metal with the transparent, breakable and sensitive characteristics of glass. She successfully interprets the splendor of the Ottoman Empire in contemporary forms to portray the fluidity and purity of glass and her metal-weaving technique.
Since 1986, her work has been featured in various exhibitions and held in museums and private collections worldwide. Her works have sold at Christie's far exceeding their estimated values.

ARTIST STATEMENT
"The beauty, grace and symmetry of traditional figurative sculpture has always called to me. It is my school and my obsession. My language is the figure and I feel the need to comment on the human condition, sometimes distorted by demons, and other times enchanted by all that is pure within us.
I have renewed my relationship to the human form. It has undergone a metamorphosis from silent conformity, where the rules and proportions are tantamount to a partial figure where the human condition becomes of primary importance. I want to stretch the canons of classical realism by giving beauty another voice that challenges socio-political norms. I speak of spirit and courage, of heritage and of imperishable strength.
Today I challenge the traditional figure, creating a characterization of the Spirit; a metaphor to our inner world that might encourage us to seek a deeper understanding of ourselves. Consciousness, as a philosophical concept, can lead us many places, from the empirical world of the cognitive sciences to a theoretical one, where psychology attempts to provide the answers. It is my intention to reach into the 21st. century using sculpture to transcend disciplinary boundaries between the physical bodies in bronze and the self-knowledge and understanding of the ethereal realm that is our internal landscape."
