Sena Başöz

Sena Başöz is an artist working across many different media whose works investigate healing, seeking ways of interacting with what is considered out of reach and experimentally regenerating what is considered frozen-dead-stale-lost. She focuses on broader definitions of "care" and the practices it entails.
