'I AIMED TO RAISE AWARENESS'
Sezginsoy stated, "The works I wanted to exhibit under the name 'The Others' are actually an installation born out of a reaction, aiming to raise awareness about the need to change our perspective on different appearances.
I exhibited my works by walking the streets in many districts of Istanbul. I evaluated the viewers' gazes and reactions one-on-one with them.
Taking these very beautiful and valuable reactions with me, I have started preparations for my 2nd guerrilla street exhibition," she said.
